Mountain West Nears New Media Rights Deal Amid 2025 Football Media Days

The Mountain West Conference is close to finalizing a new media rights deal, with commissioner Gloria Nevarez indicating that negotiations are progressing quickly amid the conference's ongoing changes. This development follows the recent announcement of the Pac-12's media rights agreement, which involves five Mountain West schools—Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, San Diego State, and Utah State—departing for the Pac-12 starting in the 2026-27 season. CBS will serve as the primary broadcast partner for both conferences, showcasing football and basketball championships, continuing a similar media landscape for the Mountain West. Meanwhile, preparations for the 2025 Mountain West Football Media Days are underway, with each program selecting representatives including head coaches and key players to participate in the event held in Las Vegas. Notable attendees include Utah State's first-year head coach Bronco Mendenhall and quarterback Bryson Barnes, as well as Boise State's head coach Spencer Danielson and standout players Kage Casey and Jayden Virgin-Morgan. The Mountain West Football Media Days will feature interviews with coaches, players, and conference officials, highlighting the conference's football landscape as it approaches a significant transition.
