UC Davis Athletics Joining Mountain West - Football to Follow This is an interesting excerpt I missed from the Big West commissioner’s blog post reacting to UC Davis leaving to join the Mountain West:
“ On Tuesday, Dec. 10, The Big West Board of Directors and I were informed that UC Davis will depart The Big West after the 2025-26 academic year. It was unfortunate news, but each institution must do what they believe is best for their institution. The non-merger of the Pac-12 and Mountain West, combined with aspirations of FBS football, has continued to drive NCAA Division I western realignment. There is more information below, but I am thankful we get to keep UC Davis through 2025-26”.
Could he know something we don’t when it comes to future plans? We shall see.
