Mountain West says no to expansion -- for now
The Mountain West Conference will not seek to expand at the present time, the league's Board of Directors decided at its annual mid-year meetings Monday in Phoenix.
Over a two-day period, the conference school presidents and athletic directors discussed a variety of topics.
Regarding expansion, the Board considered the stability the current 12-member football configuration has brought to the conference and decided not to pursue any new members. The situation is fluid, however, and expansion could be an issue down the road.
