SDSU was classified as Small College until moving to Division I in 1969.• Women’s sports debuted in the mid-1970s.During this period, SDSU President Brage Golding twice was asked whether the Aztecs should withdraw from the PCAA to seek greener pastures.The president bluntly asked Coryell if he intended to remain at San Diego State.
