"For more than a decade, the University of Nevada has stood firmly as a proud member of the Mountain West Conference, and although there have been shifts in alignment over the past several days, our commitment to the Conference remains steadfast.

We are clearly focused on an exciting future for Wolf Pack Athletics as a member of the Mountain West, a relationship that has always been driven by integrity, loyalty and a strong sense of partnership in achieving the highest levels of athletic and academic success for our student-athletes.

The conference's leadership has been consistent in its goals to remain the strongest and most reputable Conference in the west. This clear-eyed stability is a testament to the shared commitment that all of the member institutions share in furthering the Mountain West's future. We wish to thank the conference's Board of Directors and Commissioner Gloria Nevarez for leading us through a moment where an exciting future awaits all conference members.

To The Wolf Pack Family – student-athletes, coaches, support staff, alumni, friends in the community and our entire University – the University of Nevada remains an integral member of a strong, stable and richly historic conference. Our 150-year pursuit of excellence as an institution continues to drive us, and it is our unwavering commitment to see Wolf Pack Athletics succeed at the highest and most competitive levels.

Go Pack!"
