Nothing like conference realignment to wake us all up from the dog days of summer.
ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported yesterday that, per sources, the San Diego State Aztecs sent a letter to the Mountain West Conference expressing its intentions to leave the league. It was not an official breakup letter.
Here’s a key passage from Thamel’s story:
In a letter, the school asked the Mountain West for a “one-month extension given unforeseen delays involving other collegiate athletic conferences beyond our control.” As of now, there does not appear to be an invitation to San Diego State from a Power 5 conference.
