Nothing they already signed their deal with ABC and ESPN

Wouldn't really be worth it to re-negotiate. Also, they probably wont add any teams and if they do, it wouldn't impact the TV money because they are already in the TV markets for the teams they are looking to possibly expand to with the exception of NC.

Also, nobody else is about to join the SEC.

LOL Not at all. It would be great for JSU and our football mission. We could use that money to give the people what they want.

SDSU is gambling. The school still doesn't have an offer from the Pac 12 or the Big 12 but must give the Moutain West conference notice by June 30 to avoid paying $34 million in exit fees instead of $17 million.
Having to pay $17 million to leave the conference instead of paying $34 million is the backup plan.

Right, which is why I indicated in an earlier post that SDSU is gambling. The fact that SDSU would ask for an extension makes it clear that a conference has not made an offer to the school to join yet.

SDSU is in big trouble, I hope they 17 million laying around, the Mountain West is not playing.

And I don't blame them. They are asking for an extension to leave and weaken the MWC so it's not in their best interest to make exiting easier for SDSU
So, why ask for an extension if they already know an invite is waiting?
Because the Pac 12 has not finalized their media deal yet. It's pretty much a given at this point.
Exactly! This (again) goes back to my earlier post indicating that SDSU is gambling. There has been NO official invitation from the Pac 12. SDSU can tell the MWC that it is leaving the conference NOW (before June 30) and pay a $17 million exit fee or pay $34 million after the deadline.
If it is a done deal, as you've indicated, that SDSU is going to join the Pac-12, wouldn't it make sense to tell the conference now that it is leaving now?
Do they have any recourse to say they are leaving but then decide to not leave if it don't turn out the way they want it to?
I have no idea. I'm guessing the solution is written somewhere in the conference's by-laws. But whatever it is, I'm guessing there would still be some penalty to pay.
There will be more conference movement in college athletics. That is guaranteed. UCLA and USC are headed from the Pac-12 to the Big Ten and that means the Pac-12 will likely need more teams. The two most likely to replenish that Power Five league are San Diego State University and Southern Methodist University.
San Diego State is currently a member of the Mountain West Conference. SMU, a private school in Dallas, is a member of the American Athletic Conference. Those two Group of Five leagues would potentially need to add a member.
This is where our local NCAA Division I institution enters the discussion.
