The Great Aztec Odyssey: Where in the Conference World Will San Diego State Land?
Ah, San Diego State athletics. Home of the mighty Aztecs, a team known for their fighting spirit and, well, being caught in a bit of a conference limbo lately. The question on everyone's mind: where will the Aztecs land next? Buckle up, college sports fans, because this is a wild ride with more twists and turns than a California coaster.
What Conference Will San Diego State Join |
Pac-12 on the Rocks?
QuickTip: Reflect before moving to the next part.
First, there was the Pac-12 fling. Remember that summer fling that ended in a confusing text and a lot of unanswered questions? Yeah, that. The Pac-12 seemed like a perfect match for the Aztecs, a chance to join the big leagues of college athletics. But then, the media rights deal fell through faster than a sandcastle in a hurricane, leaving San Diego State with nothing but a hefty exit fee from their current conference, the Mountain West, and a participation trophy made of disappointment.

Big 12 Beckons?
But fear not, Aztec fans! There's a new sheriff in town, well, a new conference at least. The Big 12, fresh off their own round of musical chairs, has emerged as a potential suitor for San Diego State. The financial perks are juicy, the competition is fierce, and hey, maybe there's a chance to finally escape the shadow of those pesky Los Angeles schools. But will the Big 12 welcome the Aztecs with open arms, or will they leave them hanging like a half-eaten California burrito?

The Mountain Man Option
Tip: Don’t skim — absorb.
Now, let's not forget the Mountain West. The conference that San Diego State almost left for greener pastures. It might not be the glitziest option, but it's familiar, comfortable, like a favorite pair of flip flops. Plus, there's always the chance to become the big fish in a smaller pond, conference royalty you might say.
So, what's the verdict?
Honestly, your guess is as good as mine. The college athletic landscape is crazier than a drunken spring break weekend in Cancun. San Diego State could end up in the Big 12, reunite with the Mountain West crew, or maybe even pull a surprise and join a breakaway conference with, I don't know, Fresno State and a rogue herd of alpacas (hey, anything's possible!).
