About six months later, the university left for the Mountain West Conference (will join no later than the start of the 2026-27 season) and the WCC wants its money now.

The Phoenix-based universitys basketball program has advanced to the NCAA Tournament in 3 of the last 4 seasons.

A major factor in Grand Canyons decision to leave the WCC was due to the fact that Gonzaga was also on their way out the door to the Pac-12 Conference (starting in the 2026-27 season).

What is next for the WCC in the world of college realignment is yet to be determined.

Seattle University is still planning to join the conference starting in the 2025-26 season.
