This was the first time in four years that the membership of the MW did not change. Initially, UNLV was ineligible for postseason play due to their failure to meet Academic Progress Rate (APR) guidelines.UNLV's appeal of postseason ban denied. However, the NCAA later accepted an updated APR report from UNLV, showing that the school had met guidelines, and lifted the ban.
