The Mountain West and Hawaii are in discussions about adding Hawaii as a full member to the conference, per a report by Brett McMurphy.

Hawaii is currently a football-only member of the Mountain West and has been since 2012. As of now, the school’s non-football sports compete in the Big West Conference.

This comes at a time when the Mountain West is looking to solidify its membership amid conference realignment and several schools leaving the conference, and needs to add a full-member to meet the FBS requirement moving forward.

These changes in realignment come from the Pac-12 looking to reinforce its own membership after falling down to just two schools. It started by adding several Mountain West schools, including Boise State, Fresno State, San Diego State, and Colorado State. That left the Pac-12 still looking to add and Utah State and Gonzaga have also since joined, though Gonzaga doesn’t have football, leaving the Pac-12 still short of the eight teams needed for the FBS requirement.

At the same time, losing five conference members put the Mountain West in a difficult spot, now needing to add to its own membership while preventing further poaching. Schools like Hawaii and UNLV had both been suggested as targets for the Pac-12.
