The Mountain Pacific Sports Federation is a college athletic conference whose member teams are located in the western United States. The conference participates in the NCAA's Division I.  Old Mountain Pacific Sports Federation logo It was specifically created to provide an outlet for competition in non-revenue-producing Olympic sports. The MPSF conducts championships in men's soccer; men's volleyball; women's lacrosse; and indoor track, gymnastics, and water polo for both men and women. The conference's membership varies by sport; 32 schools are MPSF members in at least one of its sponsored sports. Schools are not required to participate in the MPSF competition for each sponsored sport if their primary conference affiliation sponsors a competition in that sport (e.g. Pac-10 soccer and women's gymnastics). In 2005-2006, Idaho and Utah State left the MPSF to become full-time members of the Western Athletic Conference.
