Hurt Feelings in the MWC
What’s going on between San Diego State and the Mountain West Conference?
Waiting too long in a waiting game.
San Diego State has champagne problems. They want to go to the Pac-12, and they are certain the Pac-12 will offer them a spot – after the Pac-12 finalizes a media deal. That’s the issue.
There is no real deadline for a Pac-12 media deal. June 30th was viewed by many, including myself as the hard deadline because of San Diego State.
A major assumption being made by everyone is that the Pac-12 would want SDSU ASAP. But, they still have 3 years left in the Mountain West (through the 2025/2026 season).
When SDSU requests to leave impacts what they owe.
- If San Diego State requests to leave the Mountain West on or before June 30th – They owe the conference approx. $16.5 million
- If San Diego State requests to leave the Mountain West after June 30th – They owe the conference approx. $34 million
Two weeks of Letters
June 13th – San Diego State writes the Mountain West conference with two main requests.
- Extend the deadline to request leaving the conference from the end of June to the end
