Momentum appears to be building for Boise State and the Mountain West to possibly play football this fall after all.

According to Stadium College Football reporter Brett McMurphy, the league is “aggressively exploring” the possibility of playing an eight-game fall season with a championship game on Dec. 19.

The report came after a crazy Wednesday in which the Big Ten Conference announced a fall football season would begin in late October and Mountain West commissioner Craig Thompson responding with a statement that his league was working to play football “at the earliest possible opportunity.”

The Idaho Press reports, one big hurdle for both the Mountain West remains the schools located in California, which would need governmental approval at both the state and local levels due to current restrictions.
