As for the MWC title game, the sponsorship deal did not disclose any terms of how long the agreement is for, only that Sports Authority had agreed to sponsor the 2014 game. There is still a long way to go in the 2014 season, however if the season ended today, it would be Hawaii visiting Utah State. Fresno State and Boise State lurk right behind though.

This years game will be held on December 6th.
