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
: With an 11 p.m. Friday deadline approaching and no movement on an invitation from the Pac-12 or another conference, SDSUfrom the Mountain West, which likely means it will stay put at least two more years.
There could be several strategies at work. One could be simple envy and retaliation over how SDSU approached a potential departure to a power conference, figuring the Aztecs have one foot out the door already so why play nice? One could be gaining leverage should SDSU try to negotiate a lowered exit fee if a Pac-12 invite for 2024-25 comes later this summer.
Also unclear is where CBS and Fox, the Mountain West’s linear television partners, stand on this. If SDSU departs the conference, the networks can restructure the media rights contract that runs through 2025-26 and theoretically pay the remaining members less without the Aztecs and the San Diego market.
Whatever the Mountain West’s motive, it represents a stark and sudden shift in tone. Just months ago, Nevarez was strutting around Houston’s NRG Stadium at the Final Four wearing a bright red blazer, singing the praises to national media about the first Mountain West team to get past the Sweet 16.
