Mountain West Move
In 2012, Nevada left the WAC and moved to the Mountain West Conference (MW), along with fellow WAC member Fresno State. This move was influenced by Boise State's move to the MW, as well as the MW's strength of schedule, which is superior to the WAC's. It will also intensify the rivalry with UNLV.
