Opinion: How Is it Right for SDSU Spend Millions to Join the Pac-12 While Slicing Other Funding? (msn.com)

But there’s a price for leaving Mountain West: $20 million. SDSU’s Athletic Director, John Wicker, assured reporters that no “university funds, student fees or state money” will be used to pay the fee. So where will the money come from? “That’s on me and the development team to figure that out,” Wicker said.

I think if a University can use money to join a new conference they should be able to spend it on NIL.

Also it seems quite unfair for these schools to be selling this as joining the PAC12 when it is really just the 2 leftovers. 

How in gods name can Memphis sell this west coast crap to their constituents?
