Respectfully, that's not what Jon Wilner just told Chris, and I think he's a little more connected to the PAC than you.
Let's face it, Jon Wilner nor anyone else is connected any more than anyone else. The people on the inside that know what is going on, are not saying anything. Look at the OuT movement, no one knew anything until Texas aTm broke the story, read on the Athletic that 7 people knew about the talks between USC, UCLA and the B10.
If someone is talking, they are doing one of two things, pushing an agenda that they want to happen, or a person like the rest of us, looking at the parts and trying to figure out what is happening and predicting the future. But few actually know what is going on, and if Jon Wilner was on the inside and actually knew, by telling everyone, that source would immediately never talk to him again.
SDSU is a horrible choice to bring into the conference, it's that simple. Taking them or not taking them does nothing to the Pac 12 nor helps the outlook for the B12 and are just another mouth to feed. If you made a list of schools located in the Pac 12 or in the region, the last three on the list to take would be Oregon St., Boise and SDSU, they would all be behind Washington St. that at least has some data showing they can draw fans on TV. The only thing that SDSU bring to any conference is the city of San Diego, but they struggle to draw fans and always have, few care in their home city about SDSU, they are a lot like Houston. We already have the Cougars, let's not take another one.
