For months, Gonzaga has been mulling a move from the West Coast Conference to the Mountain West Conference.
The Zags have decided to stay in the WCC, athletic director Mike Roth said Monday.
“Our decision is to remain in the WCC, where we’ve had a great relationship for 39 years going on 40,” Roth told the Spokane Spokesman-Review. “We appreciate the Mountain West pursuing us. However, for a number of reasons, maintaining our status in the WCC is the right thing for Gonzaga University.”
Last week, the WCC announced some scheduling changes for the upcoming season, including a 16-game regular season slate and byes for the top two seeds in the WCC Tournament through the semifinals.
