San Diego State is reportedly expected to deliver a notice to the Mountain West Conference on Friday, detailing that it no longer plans to withdraw from the league, according to ESPN’s Pete Thamel.
The reported reverse in the program’s course of action comes two weeks after San Diego State had sent a written notification to the league that it intended to depart the conference. The program had been connected to possible expansion opportunities in the Pac-12 and Big 12.
Friday marked the deadline for SDSU to inform the league on if it was officially leaving the conference. SDSU had also requested the conference to delay its official deadline to exit, according to Sports Illustrated’s Ross Dellenger. If the Aztecs would have departed the conference, they would have been responsible for paying a $17 million exit fee, per Dellenger.
