The Mountain West is coming to the World Wide Leader.
After CBS decided not to pick up the Mountain West Conference title game, the championship meeting will end up at either ESPN or ESPN 2.
“We are appreciative of the growing relationship with our partners at ESPN,” MWC commissioner Craig Thompson said in a statement. “The addition of our annual football championship game to a full slate of regular-season programming across the ESPN networks will provide an exciting segue into our many ESPN-affiliated bowl games and the College Football Playoff.”
The increase in exposure for the Mountain West will benefit all of the teams in the conference, with increased revenue.
