Letter from SDSU President Adela de la Torre to Mountain West could prove major misstep amid choppy expansion waters
for decades, dreaming of big-stage relevance, program-puffing validation and a financial windfall to fill athletic department coffers.
If the interpretation is the former, it begs for benevolence from a cash-strapped conference that has no real incentive to offer that. If it’s the latter, it potentially doubles San Diego State’s $17 million fee to walk away while searching for a conference welcome mat that has yet to be rolled out., the Aztecs clumsily dipped those snowshoes into the great unknown.to the Mountain West boss? That created a paper trail and legal bone to gnaw on for conference lawyers.
Meanwhile, it’s become a perilous roll of the dice as the Pac-12 sorts its expansion and revenue laundry. In addition to major cost increases to pay coaches and operate programs at a power-conference level, the Aztecs may only earn a partial slice of the money pie out of the gate. Asking remaining Pac-12 teams to ding themselves financially with a lesser rights deal on the horizon, simply to accommodate a university in no-man’s land without leverage, seems a fool’s folly.
Though the Aztecs remain at the mercy of Pac-12 timing, it amplifies the critical importance of how they handle each step and relationship. The Mountain West letter smells like a mistake, forcing the new leader of the conference to show toughness and concern for remaining members.
