The June 30th deadline that doubled San Diego State’s exit fee to leave the Mountain West Conference has passed, and the outcome isn’t ideal.
The Aztecs have reversed course from their last statement and intend to remain in the Mountain West.
It’s not the last opportunity for the Aztecs to join the Pac-12, but it does provide another negative headline for Commissioner George Kliavkoff.
On today’s episode of Locked On Pac-12, I react to the news about the school believed to be the Pac-12’s top expansion candidate
There are a number of ways this could all play out in the short and long term, and I dive into what those could be.
Expansion and the media deal still are far more than just a few days away, but do George Kliavkoff and the Pac-12 Presidents have a burning desire to wrap this up by Pac-12 media day on July 21st?
There’s one reason that might not be the case.
