Mountain West gave Big 12 permission to speak to its member schools

The Mountain West is looking at all of the options to make sure the conference remains viable.

The Big 12 is moving along by exploring expansion and the Mountain West has a few teams that are being discussed to join the Power Five league.

Mostly it has been Colorado State as they have contacted the Big 12, and to a lesser degree Boise State and San Diego State could be options as since the league is open to football-only members.

Mountain West commissioner Craig Thompson spent a lot of time on the topic during his state of the conference address on the first day of Mountain West media days.
