The Mountain West is going to play football in the fall.
The conference’s presidents voted Thursday night to start the 2020 season on Oct. 24. The decision comes on the same day the Pac-12 said that it would play football in the fall, though the Mountain West will start its season two weeks earlier.
Each team in the conference will play eight games and the conference will have its championship game the weekend of Dec. 19. That weekend is set to be filled with multiple conference title games including the Pac-12’s.
