As University of Hawaii athletics director Craig Angelos alluded to last week, the University of Hawaii is currently in ongoing talks to join the Mountain West Conference as a full-time member. Angelos confirmed the talks to KHON2 on Thursday after it was reported on Thursday by Action Network's Brett McMurphy that Hawaii was discussing full-time membership as a conference.

It would cost the University of Hawaii $750,000 to exit the Big West. UTEP officially joined the Mountain West on Thursday, giving the conference seven full-time members. Were Hawaii to join, the school would become the eighth. Hawaii currently pays visiting conference football teams $150,000 if it is in the Pacific Time Zone, as well as $175,000 for teams from the Mountain Time Zone. It also shares travel costs with visiting Big West teams for its other sports.
