SDSU letter starts back-and-forth with Mountain West over estimated $17 million exit fee, which would double without an extension from June 30 deadline
June gloom has cleared up across the region, but San Diego State’s conference future remains cloudy after an exchange of letters this week between the university and the Mountain West about its potential exit.
De la Torre hastily wrote back disputing the semantics, the sources said, insisting this was not a formal notification of departure but a request about negotiating terms to help SDSU make an informed decision if or when an invitation from a power conference comes this summer.The Mountain West’s bylaws are clear on departure terms. The exit fee is three times the average annual payout per school, or about $17 million, if you provide one-year notice by June 30.
Asked whether SDSU would withdraw from the Mountain West if the deadline were today, Wicker said: “I don’t know the answer to that.”San Diego State University President Adela de la Torre said the timing of any move is going to be tight.“They’re trying to find out what we’re willing to do,” the source told ESPN. “They want to see if the Mountain West Conference is going to handle this nicely. Well, that’s not going to happen.
