San Diego State plans to remain in the Mountain West after all, a source told ESPN’s Pete Thamel.
The Aztecs sent a letter to the conference in mid-June saying it intended to exit. The school was rumored to be eyeing a move to the Pac-12, which will lose USC and UCLA to the Big Ten in 2024.
San Diego State would have had to pay an approximate exit fee of $16.5 million to leave by June 30. The figure would explode to nearly $34 million thereafter.
