Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:28:38 GMT

San Diego State has commenced the process of withdrawing from the Mountain West, signaling that the Pac-12 could be close to wrapping up its media rights negotiations and settling the expansion issue.Or maybe not. The situation remains a bit murky despite the latest development.The Aztecs face a June 30 deadline to formally resign from the MW — any later and the $17 million (approximate) exit fee would double.“We can’t pay the (extra) amount,” athletic director JD Wicker told the San Diego Union-Tribune last month.Meanwhile, ESPN reported Friday that the university informed the MW in writing that it “intends” to resign, which isn’t the same as an official notice of withdrawal. Additionally, SDSU asked for a one-month extension on the deadline.There is no indication which conference the Aztecs plan to join — they have been linked to the Big 12 as well as the Pac-12 — and the option to remain in the MW seemingly exists.However, the Aztec...

Police really knew something was wrong with their Mark43 CAD/RMS cloud-based system when tracking devices showed their officers’ real-time locations in the wrong continents.It was time to unload the software – even though the contract ran through 2025. And the Antioch City Council has approved just that this week, authorizing a $2.1 million purchase of a new system after negotiating with Mark43 to let the city exit its contract early.Antioch Police Lt. Joe Vigil said there have been problems with the system since it went online in 2021.“The system has been plagued with critical failures that have been severely impacted 911 call intake and police dispatcher operations,” Vigil told the council at its Tuesday meeting.“These failures have included catastro...
