The Mountain West appeared to possibly lose Colorado State and Air Force, but after being courted by the American Athletic Conference, they have made their decision.

Those schools, along with Boise State and San Diego State will remain in the Mountain West, according to Pete Thamel of Yahoo Sports. A report of Boise and San Diego State staying surfaced on Thursday.

A report from CBS Sports suggests that Boise State intends to stay in the Mountain West with the hopes of a bigger invitation, specifically from the Big 12 or Pac-12, coming in the not-too-distant future. San Diego State remains in lockstep with its desire to wait for a better offer rather than potentially moving conferences twice in a short period of time.

Part of the AAC’s goal in targeting Mountain West teams is to destabilize the Group of Five landscape and solidify itself as an even bigger power. The AAC has often been considered the top Group of Five conference, but the loss of three top-tier programs in major media markets could change that in a big way.
