San Diego State coach is making some of the same points as Chris R

But multiple sources told the Union-Tribune that the conference’s athletic directors already approved the move at meetings in Colorado Springs last week and details of a four-year deal starting in the 2020-21 season are merely being finalized.

The vote was 10-1.

The lone nay?

You can make a pretty good guess based on former San Diego State coach Steve Fisher’s past tirades about the MW/MVC Challenge and current coach Brian Dutcher’s comments Tuesday at the conference media day in Las Vegas.

“For San Diego State, we don’t have trouble scheduling games,” Dutcher said. “I can get a Pac-12 team instead of playing an A-10 team, and I don’t have to travel three time zones to play them. Some teams in the conference that are in tough locations have a hard time getting someone to play them. For the conference, I can understand their point of view, that it’s good for some teams.

“But for the Aztecs, it’s not a good thing. We can get our own games. We don’t need help.”

Several Mountain West coaches privately expressed concern about a new challenge series, particularly one that ships teams 2,000-plus miles for a single game they might lose. Several also said they were unaware their athletic director had voted in favor of it.

Also, what's going on with the AD/Coach communication that some of these HCs didn't know their ADs were supporting this
