Grand Canyon University is joining the Mountain West Conference by 2026, ending its previous commitment to the West Coast Conference. The move will not include competition in the WCC. This development comes as a surprise, given Grand Canyon's recent invitation and acceptance of membership into the WCC. The Mountain West Conference will now have a stronger presence in basketball, while Grand Canyon's decision also marks another blow to the WCC amid ongoing realignment.
