News Summary:
On June 24, 2026, the Mountain West Conference unveiled a refreshed brand identity, featuring a modernized wordmark, an updated color palette, and the new tagline "Built Bold," describing it as a pivotal step toward a new era focused on growth, innovation, and transformation. Previously, on May 27, the conference, along with its television partners CBS Sports, FOX Sports, and The CW, announced the 2026 Mountain West football television schedule, which will feature Wyoming Football, for instance, on television 10 times. On May 19, the Mountain West Conference and the Pac-12 reached a settlement agreement to resolve two separate lawsuits, concluding a 20-month legal battle involving poaching allegations, contractual disputes, and antitrust claims that the MWC had imposed financial penalties on the Pac-12. This agreement prevented a grueling discovery process and brought financial clarity to Mountain West schools. This followed an agreement in principle reached on May 18 by the Pac-12, Mountain West Conference, and five schools departing the latter—including Fresno State—to settle lawsuits over exit and poaching fees, a saga that had continued for more than a year.
