Mountain West: San Diego State left the conference and owes an exit fee

The Mountain West withholds a $6.6 million distribution due the university until the board meets later this month to decide SDSU's 'status' in the conference

In essence the MWC is playing hardball and wants lots of $$$ from SDSU.

You have to wonder why the MWC is being a bunch of dicks. It benefits no one.

It makes me wonder what qualifications it takes to be a conference commissioner in today's world. If there are lawsuits it just gets really messy.
 
i am sure the mwc made sure to send it certified male. that is better than a blood oath and a pinky swear.

The MWC is going to decide at their board meeting on… July 17th?!?

Well played Aztecs, looks like they got that extension after all.

Funny thing is, my daughter didn’t give a rat’s ass about rankings. She looked at the campuses to see which one she would like the best. (I was the one stressed about rankings). But as I look at where she’s at now, it’s frustrating (to me) that it’s ranked so low, it the campus is gorgeous, the facilities are amazing, the town is awesome, and her education is on par. Plus, awesome athletics to root for. Yet I still can’t figure out why it’s ranked so much lower than some others.

Prejudice against the south on the part of the elites explains a good deal of it.

SDSU trying to celebrate the Pac-12’s independence from a media deal. They’re one of us! F your GORs. Sign over our media rights? F that. This is America and we’ll keep our media rights free from tyranny.

Sure sounds like you're describing JMU (James Madison.)
That's where my youngest goes, he absolutely loves it and we love going to visit him (when it's not for taking him to doctors to save his eye - thank God that's over.)
Harrisonburg, VA is a great little town.
 
MWC is trying to keep SDSU or at least make max dollars from them leaving. I don't think I've seen a conference come this hard at this type of situation. AAC and others have simply collected their money and amicably wished well to the departing member(s).

Makes me wonder if losing SDSU is catastrophic for the MWC and future value.

Also makes me wonder if the P12 should take FSU and BSU along with adding SDSU and SMU to go to 14 and break the MWC - forcing them to either merge with AAC or add FCS members from big sky country.

There's no way all four of those are each independently worth $32+ million to a PAC TV contract, which is what they all need to be in order to add value to the PAC (assuming we won't sign any deal worth less than the Big XII's).

Breaking the MWC should not be an objective of the PAC12. They should be working to get a media deal on par or better than the B12. We make fun of the B12 adding 4 G5 schools and then think it is good for the PAC.

The problem is lack of money and I don't believe adding those 4 schools would provide more money to CU.

Help me understand the benefit to the Pac12 of “breaking” the MWC. No snark, I’m just not seeing why that would be a goal of this conference.
 
Rick Neuheisel said today on Full Ride he is hearing concerning things out west for the PAC-12 regarding
2 PAC-12 adds to the Big 12.

Rick still has quite a few connections so I take stock in this.
