… with no end in sight.
The NCAA should ask itself why this is an ongoing trend now. I mean, politicians don’t ordinarily go out on a limb on stuff like this. The reason this has taken off is because their constituents hate the NCAA, at least more than they care about NIL.

Reading this, it’s hard to think it doesn’t.
San Diego State may want to remain in the Mountain West after all, but the feeling apparently isn’t mutual.
The Mountain West insisted in a series of letters last week that SDSU formally announced it was leaving the conference and said it is going to withhold a $6.6 million payment as the first installation of an exit fee, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune.
The move is the latest in what has been a chaotic few weeks for SDSU and the Mountain West. The university told the Mountain West last month that it “intends to resign” from the conference next summer. It did so before July 1, too, in order to cut an exit fee down from nearly $34 million to about $17 million.
But, despite those intentions to leave, SDSU apparently didn’t have any plans for where to go. The school also asked the Mountain West for an extension on the June 30 deadline, something the conference denied.
So on Friday before the deadline, SDSU informed the conference that it wasn’t going to withdraw after all.
Oh, sure. Just like that.
Maybe next time you might want to make sure you have that landing spot secured before you jump out of the plane, Aztecs.
But a day later, the Mountain West rejected that claim. According to the conference, SDSU has withdrawn formally and owes a nearly $17 million exit fee. So, “in connection with our receipt of the SDSU Notice of Resignation,” the Mountain West is withholding a more than $6.6 million payment that was due to the school this week as the first part of that exit fee.
Oh, snap!
Lawyers from both sides are “actively involved in the issue,”…
No shit. Billable hours remain undefeated. Thanks for the business, fellas!

Come for the statistical analysis that interceptions had a greater value for UGA’s defense last season than did sacks…
… but stay for the fact that the ’22 defense never allowed a touchdown on any drive with a sack.
