Quote:Nevarez’s June 16 response declined any flexibility in the exit terms “at this time,” while adding: “Please note that this letter is not intended to express agreement with any interpretation” from de la Torre’s June 15 clarification letter, meaning the Mountain West still is proceeding as if SDSU is leaving. That includes withholding the annual distribution for 2022-23 (of about $6 million) due SDSU next month as payment toward the exit fee and removing de la Torre from the conference’s board.
