UNLV Athletics announced that it will extend its contract with the Mountain West Conference for six years – with additional financial incentives – through June 30, 2032. The university will also have the flexibility to explore future membership in an autonomous “Power Four” conference without penalty should a future opportunity become available. UNLV, as a charter member of the Mountain West, will continue to host the conference's men's and women's basketball tournaments at the Thomas & Mack Center throughout the duration of the existing and new contract.
