Hawaii will join Mountain West as full member in 2026, sources told @ActionNetworkHQ. With 8 full members required to be FBS league, MW now targets NIU & Toledo as football-only members, sources said. MW still wants to add at least 1 football member

Worth noting:

Media markets in the MWC with the teams that are staying

- San Fran, Oakland, San Jose : 6
- Hawaii : 72
- Vegas : 42

Current MAC markets

- Chicago : 3
- Detroit : 11
- Buffalo : 51
- Toledo : 73
- Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids, Battle Creek : 39

I’d argue that the MAC could be asking for more money, but to pretend the MAC doesn’t have access to a good media market is disingenuous.

Realignment comes knocking at the MAC's door-- perhaps literally-- as the Mountain West reportedly seeks NIU and Toledo for affiliate membership in football.

Brett McMurphy reported first; story still developing:

1. HOLY SHIT

2. I'd prefer it if BG went with Toledo and NIU. Preserve the Battle of I-75.

[Brett McMurphy @Brett_McMurphy]

Mountain West notifies the MAC of its interest in NIU & Toledo as football-only members in 2026, sources told @ActionNetworkHQ. This adds Central Time Zone to MW, potentially increasing future media rights value. NIU & Toledo have combined for 7 of last 13 MAC titles. MW currently has 7 football members but would still need 2 full-time members in addition to NIU & Toledo

Jason Candle with a great quote after Toledo’s 41-17 demolition of Mississippi State: “These are the types of schools that recruit our players right off our roster. It’s a message that you can [succeed] here.”

Toledo 28, Mississippi State 3

Yardage: Toledo 305, Mississippi State 78
First downs: Toledo 16, Mississippi State 4

Tennessee might be up 44-0 on Kent State and Miami (FL) might be up 62-0 on Ball State, but NIU beat Notre Dame and that's what really matters

Neither BG nor Toledo received votes in the Week 2 AP Poll

[Battle Of I-75 @BattleOfI75]

After a big return for 24 yards on the ensuing kickoff, JerJuan Newton carved through the Duquesne defense for a 54-yard touchdown.

Playmaker.

Connor Bazelak calls his own number inside the 10-yard line. Goes into the end zone untouched and Bowling Green is up 27-0.

Domination.
