San Diego State must give notice to Mountain West by June 30 if it wants to play elsewhere in 2024-25 or the exit fee doubles to an estimated $34 million
Remember when a new Pac-12 media rights deal and expansion plans were supposed to be completed by Labor Day?
“This is going to be a tight deadline,” SDSU President Adela de la Torre said, “there’s no question about it.”Departure — or “resignation” in the Mountain West bylaws — before the current media rights deal expires comes with a financial penalty because, presumably, its television partners could invalidate the contract and renegotiate for less money without its highest profile member.
“I’m really confident about our future in a Power 5 conference,” de la Torre said last week, speaking with the Union-Tribune at the announcement for an MLS expansion team at Snapdragon Stadium beginning in 2025. “I’m also confident that, when we talk about the Pac-12, they need to get the best deal possible for us to get the pro rata share we deserve.
There are reports about the Big 12’s desire to poach the Pac-12’s so-called Four Corners schools — Arizona, Arizona State, Utah and former Big 12 member Colorado. Others have the Big Ten expanding again with Oregon and Washington to give USC and UCLA regional travel partners.
“We have to wait for the Pac-12 to do what they’re doing,” Wicker said. “We’re having conversations with people on a regular basis. Everyone knows our timeline as far as that payout to be playing somewhere in 2024.” Cincinnati, Houston and Central Florida bargained down inflated exit fees when they left the American Athletic Conference for the Big 12. The fee was $10 million per school with 27 months’ notice and a whopping $45 million without, and their announcements came inside two years. They finallyA dice-roll option for SDSU is to notify the Mountain West before June 30 of its intention to leave by 2024-25, banking on a) the Pac-12 staying together and b) extending an invitation.
