While five colleges have left the Mountain West Conference, UNLV says it’s staying in the Mountain West for six years from July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2032. UNLV’s existing contract with the league was scheduled to expire June 30, 2026.
UNLV President Keith E. Whitfield signed a deal that requires the Mountain West to pay an estimated lump sum of $10 million to 14 million to UNLV in 2025, and then also pay UNLV approximately $1.5 million to $1.8 million annually during the a six-year period beginning in July 2026.
UNLV also has the flexibility to explore future membership in an autonomous “Power Four” conference without penalty.
