Kick off your weekend with a fresh look at the biggest stories from across the Mountain West. From major financial moves to key coaching decisions, here’s what’s shaping the conference as we head into the offseason.

UNLV is making a serious financial commitment to elevate its athletic programs. The Rebels have announced a significant $10.75 million in revenue sharing for the 2026-27 season, a clear signal of their ambition to become a top contender in the Group of Six. This investment could be a game-changer for both UNLV football and basketball as they look to build sustainable success.

In Reno, Nevada quarterback Carter Jones has broken his media silence. The signal-caller, who started as a true freshman last season, opened up about the challenges of that experience and his strong desire to reward the Wolf Pack coaching staff for their trust. His development will be a key storyline for Nevada's offense this fall.

Meanwhile, Boise State's offensive plans are coming into focus. Quarterback coach and co-offensive coordinator Zak Hill recently addressed the media, offering insights into the Broncos' offensive philosophy and preparation for the upcoming season. His role in shaping the attack is crucial for a program with perennial championship aspirations.

There's stability in the islands, as Hawaii has secured men's basketball coach Eran Ganot with a contract extension following a successful 2025-26 campaign. Keeping Ganot in Manoa ensures continuity for a Rainbow Warriors program that has shown consistent growth under his leadership.

Finally, in Laramie, the Wyoming football staff is navigating a unique situation with unity. Following an internal staff demotion, reports indicate the coaching team remains aligned and focused on the collective goal—a testament to the culture head coach Jay Sawvel is building as the Cowboys prepare for a tough Mountain West slate.
