Brigham Young University will leave the Mountain West Conference for the 2011-12 season, go independent in football and join the West Coast Conference in all other sports, notably men's basketball.
The WCC confirmed the addition of BYU on Tuesday but said neither it nor BYU would comment until a press conference scheduled for Wednesday.
BYU had originally agreed to go to the Western Athletic Conference in all sports and go independent in football before the MWC squelched the move by inviting WAC members Fresno State and Nevada two weeks ago.
BYU had until Wednesday to notify the MWC if it was going to leave for the 2011-12 season.
