Ah, the Mountain West. It wasn't all that long ago they were threatening to become another power conference, especially in football. Instead, most of the top-tier members got absorbed into the Big XII. Still, the league marched on, and still with a good number of members you'd recognize from their zenith. They do have four schools that don't sponsor varsity baseball. Boise St. is maybe the most non-committal baseball school. They first dropped baseball back in 1980, but then brought it back in 2017. Right went it seemed things were going to work out, the whole pandemic thing happened, and the school again dropped their team in 2021. They may be back again soon, though. You just apparently never know with those guys. I couldn't find when Utah St. dropped their team, but Colorado St. dropped baseball in 1992, and Wyoming in 1996. They all have stayed out of the game. And here are the schools who do actually play.
