San Diego State’s deadline to avoid an exit fee doubling to $34M has come and gone.
The Aztecs’ Power 5 hopes appear to rest on the ability of the Pac-12 to finalize its media deal and add them as they’ve stated their intention to remain in the Mountain West.
It makes a potential Pac-12 membership almost poetic.
On today’s episode of Locked On Pac-12, I examine a realignment-ridden future for the Pac-12 and San Diego State.
Plus, I look at a flaw in ESPN’s FPI metrics with regard to predicting this year’s Pac-12 Football champion.
The Pac-12 is still dealing with lobbying from the Big 12 to try and poach member schools in Colorado and Arizona.
If the league stays together, should they try to position themselves to turn the tables one day?
