Neither BYU or Gonzaga want to close sports and most of the MWC is indicating they will.
SJSU may not, leaving the MWC schools at 10 plus and Gonzaga & BYU.
MWC Mountain: BYU, Utah St, Wyoming, Colorado St, Air Force, UNM
MWC West: Gonzaga, Boise, Fresno, SDSU, UNLV, Nevada

Where are you hearing this rumor? The WCC issued its 2020-21 basketball matchups earlier this month.

If the other WCC schools did cancel Olympic sports in winter 2021, I do think BYU and Gonzaga would talk to the MWC. I'm sure they would approach the PAC and also consider scenarios that involve the Big Sky, the Big West, and WAC.

I would imagine that the best the MWC could do would be to accommodate them in the OOC. They're planning to go to a 20-game schedule starting in 2022-23, but that would be a double round-robin, so I don't think it'd be very easy to make that work for a 13-team conference, especially as a one-shot. Maybe they can cancel the MWC-A10 challenge, since it probably wasn't going to survive the move to a 20-game schedule.

Of course the whole thing could be rendered moot if the California schools decide they can't play after all, or other schools in the conference pull back.
