As college athletics is taking another spin on the ‘every couple of years conference realignment’ carousel, it appears the Mountain West Conference is content in sitting this one out.
“Our position right now is we’re very comfortable with the 12 football playing institutions, and we’re going to stand pat,” Mountain West Commissioner Craig Thompson said on Wednesday.
“Currently we’re the number one Group of Five ranked conference, and have been many times in the past, and hope to be for several years to come. So, we like our makeup and are very interested in building and growing those 12 brands.
