Canzano: San Diego State on island while Pac-12 works toward deal

SMU busy rubber-necking.

San Diego State is in limbo after a series of clumsy letters.

I don’t know where you’re spending the Fourth of July holiday, but San Diego State is currently on an island.

The Aztecs insist they’re still members of the Mountain West Conference. The school announced last week that it intends to stay put — for now. Meanwhile, the MWC contends that San Diego State already left.

Messy, right?

I have a pile of thoughts about the drama playing out and how it impacts the Pac-12 Conference and other interested parties such as SMU.
