The Mountain West could be heading back to Texas.
The conference is considering adding Rice and Texas-El Paso, according to CBSSports.com. Texas Christian played in the Mountain West, but left for the Big 12 Conference in 2012.
Whether the Mountain West, currently at 12 teams in football and 11 in basketball, actually expands is another matter. Expansion will be discussed at the conference meetings Sunday and Monday in Phoenix, but the CBS Sports story said there wasn't a rush to add teams.
"I don't think it's any point where they're going to vote on it right now," one source told the website.
