The Mountain West became the latest FBS conference to reverse course and announce a truncated football season. The league made the decision official in a tweet Thursday evening:
Teams will compete in an eight-game schedule with play beginning October 24, pending approval from state, local and county officials.
The Mountain West Championship Game is now scheduled for December 19.
Earlier on Thursday, the Pac-12 announced it was resuming fall sports with college football beginning a seven-game schedule November 6.
