Gloria Nevarez says the conference is 'better' with the Aztecs but doesn't explain why it continued to insist they were leaving and penalized them for reinstatement
Mountain West Commissioner Gloria Nevarez finally broke her silence about the monthlong spat involving San Diego State’s status in the conference and Tuesday’s resolution that likely keeps the Aztecs around at least two more years.
A journalist from Fresno asked why the conference continually claimed SDSU had given formal notice of departure — and withheld a $6.6 million distribution share as the initial payment of an estimated $17 million exit fee — despite multiple letters from President Adela de la Torre clarifying that it had not.Journalist: “It’s not a detail. I’m wondering, your gut reaction is, ‘You’re out.
SDSU sent at least three subsequent letters contending it had never formally withdrawn. The Mountain West wouldn’t budge, initiating separation procedures that included removing de la Torre from the board and freezing the $6.6 million distribution due SDSU in early July.
