2/5/2026 4:10:00 PM | Men's Basketball
On Thursday, the Western Athletic Conference released the following statement from league commissioner Rebekah Ray regarding a broadcast change for ACU's men's basketball game at Utah Valley.
"Beginning today with the men's basketball game between Abilene Christian University at Utah Valley University, the Western Athletic Conference has removed all Utah Valley University home athletic contests from its broadcast schedule until further notice. These events will not be available for broadcast on ESPN+ or otherwise.
"This action is required due to Utah Valley University's failure to meet its obligations under WAC bylaws, resulting in its status as a member institution not in good standing. The conference is obligated to enforce its bylaws and associated contractual requirements and remains open to discussion should Utah Valley University seek to resolve this matter."
Fans are still able to listen to the Wildcats' game at Utah Valley with Voice of the Wildcats Grant Boone on the ACU Sports Network. Coverage begins at 6:45 p.m. CT.
Thursday's women's basketball game between ACU and Utah Valley at Moody Coliseum will be streamed on ESPN+ as scheduled. Tipoff is at 6 p.m.
