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.

“I thought of Chatterton, the marvellous boy,
The sleepless soul that perished in his pride;
Of him who walked in glory and in joy
Following his plough, along the mountain side:
By our own spirits are we deified:
We poets in our youth begin in gladness;
But thereof come in the end despondency and madness.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
“We were young, we were merry, we were very very wise,
And the door stood open at our feast,
When there passed us a woman with the West in her eyes,
And a man with his back to the East.”
—Mary Elizabeth Coleridge (1861–1907)
“After three years’ study, you want to tell the world; after three more, you hardly want to move an inch.”
—Chinese proverb.
