November 29, 2010 – COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- "Today’s intercollegiate athletics environment is very fluid," said Mountain West Conference Commissioner Craig Thompson. "Our Board of Directors and Directors of Athletics, as they have throughout the history of the MWC and with even more focus recently, will continue to analyze the landscape and chart our course in the context of ongoing changes. That includes conversations already underway with potential future members, as well as related discussions with our television and bowl partners. "We appreciate the many contributions TCU has made to the growth and development of the Mountain West over the past six years. We look forward to shaping the future of the Conference in the coming months."
