SDSU officially leaving MWC… first domino to fall!

I want the MW to honor the first letter and claim to not honor anything after that. Kick them to the Indy curb. Oh you want to stay now that the Pac 12 remains a dumpster fire? Sorry, you told us you were leaving so we'll take your cash and you can go.

Prefer you to think that before writing it down until UConn finds a home.

Meh, we'll find a home at some point and for.now being in the BE for bball and being an Indy is working out. It's far from a long term solution but by now I'm used to having us getting kicked in the nuts when it comes to CR. So I would gladly watch SDSU get screwed over by they're stupidity. Sure, they'll follow it up with a Big 12 invite but whatever. I wanna see them get embarrassed

I'm so used to it I don't even flinch anymore when I see a video of some guy getting a baseball to the nuts. In fact, if I step anywhere near a bat and ball I fully expect to be incapacitated and writhing in pain. Bring it on. The day shall come and when it does no one will celebrate harder than me. It will be a grand day....

Good lord what a bunch of clowns all around the table. SDSU took it in the pipe hard. PAC just showed its hand and it’s got nothing. MWC’s most powerful team is estranged. Big12 has probably figured out it doesn’t need an SDSU.

I don’t think BIG 12 needs but is looking to expand and is not necessarily in a hurry.

-> Just hours before a deadline to give the Mountain West a one-year notice of departure, San Diego State reaffirmed its membership in the conference.

So everything’s copacetic?

Apparently not.

SDSU contends it never formally left. The Mountain West, however, still insists it has.

The flurry of letters between the university and conference continued over the weekend, and now lawyers are actively involved. At issue is a $6.6 million distribution share for the 2022-23 academic year that the Mountain West is withholding to defray SDSU’s exit fee, pending reinstatement by the board.

“We will discuss the status of SDSU’s membership in the conference at a July meeting of our Board of Directors,” said a July 1 letter from Mountain West Commissioner Gloria Nevarez to SDSU President Adela de la Torre, responding to de la Torre’s letter Friday saying the Aztecs were staying in the conference.

That meeting is scheduled for July 17 and won’t include de la Torre because she was removed from the board per Mountain West bylaws for a member leaving the conference <-

Mountain West insists San Diego State has left the conference, and it wants its exit fee

SDSU wants to stay in the Mountain West after all, but the feeling apparently isn’t mutual.

This is such a mess and I love watching it. The saddest part is that I know it will somehow end with SDSU ending up in a P5 conference (is that even a thing anymore?). Then you look at us who have done nothing like this disaster and have been stuck in CR hell forever. Must be nice to be able to completely implode, being a national laughingstock, and still find a home that makes you almost 8x as much as you currently make each year. I hope they get stuck joining the AAC or worse, C-USA!!

Worst comes to worst they say OK, go indie, and yes, get picked up by whatever conferences are left within a year or two. At least it knows it saved $17 million in exit fees. Schedule UConn, UMass, Army, NMSU.

Yeah really. Appears UConn is doing things the right way and things look fairly positive then what often happens, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
 
MWC is p*ssing into the wind out of spite. SDSU is their best team and the conference can't afford to boot them. When SDSU finally leaves, the conference will still get the money.

Don't disagree with your overall point, but Boise State has their own deal within the MW. They're the best program in that league by a wide margin. Overall factors may not make them as attractive to other conferences but success matters.

That's the best route. UCONN can help them out with some football and basketball schedule if needed :D

Beats the girl that doesn't make the list at all, I guess.
 
The MWC is being really childish and stupid. It doesn’t do the league any good to boot out a school in the biggest market in the league that is coming off a championship game appearance. It is also better for the league to have SDSU pay $34 million instead of $17 million when SDSU does finally leave.

That might all be true, but it would undermine the conference which is not an entity into itself - it is made up of other schools that I am sure are pissed that a member (for the second time) is wanting/threatening to leave for supposed greener pastures. It'd be like your significant other telling you it might be over and then saying never-ending. Twice. Tell me you wouldn't stand up for yourself?

If the MWC kicks out SDSU, do they (the MWC) keep their NCAA credits, or whatever they are for their NCAA Tourney performance? I know that if SDSU left they would not get it, not sure if it's different if the school is removed by the league
