Surprise - SDSU stays in the MWC

[EPJr]

San Diego State will remain a member of the Mountain West Conference and will not join the Big East this fall.
The Mountain West's Board of Directors voted Wednesday afternoon to reinstate San Diego State this fall. The Aztecs were scheduled to leave the MWC and join the Big East on July 1 as a football-only member and the Big West in all other sports. However, the Aztecs will remain a member of the Mountain West in all sports.
San Diego State's decision comes on the heels of Boise State's Dec. 31 decision to remain in the MWC and not join the Big East as a football-only member.

This is getting ri-goddamned-diculous.

This cost SDSU $1.5M in exit fees from the Big West. They get off scot free from the Big East because of a clause in their contract that greased the skids after Boise welched.

I wouldn't call this a surprise.

Nice move Aztecs. Now the Big 12 is reportedly looking to be "proactive" in the coming weeks. FBS world getting ready to weather another storm. At least a story of realignment taking the proper direction could be enjoyed before another round of ridiculousness started. I've never been so happy to be in the FCS.

Having them stay in the MWC rather than go to the Big East seems LESS ri-goddamned-diculous... but yeah...
