San Diego State to inform Mountain West it wants to stay in league, source says


San Diego State is expected to deliver notice to the Mountain West on Friday that it will not withdraw from the league, a source told ESPN. The update from the school will be the latest in a back-and-forth between the school and the conference that began on June 13, when SDSU informed the Mountain West it "intends" to leave the conference. San Diego State now plans to move forward as part of the Mountain West, per sources, as it does not have an invitation from a power conference. The Mountain West had yet to receive any notice as of early Friday afternoon and has yet to comment. The news emerged on Friday because it marked a significant deadline. If SDSU were to leave the Mountain West for the start of the 2024-25 season after June 30, it would need to pay nearly $34 million, up from about $16.5 million. That means that SDSU is expected be in the Mountain West for the next two seasons, as it's unlikely it would pay $34 million to leave prior. San Diego State's impending decision on Friday comes the day that the Pac-12's board of directors again met for an update on the league's television negotiations. Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff gave a more detailed presentation to the Pac-12 board, but sources told ESPN's Heather Dinich on Friday that no deal is expected to be announced imminently.

Venus Williams to play Western & Southern Open as wild card

Venus Williams will play in the upcoming Western & Southern Open after receiving a wild card, the tournament announced Monday. It is the second hardcourt event Williams will be playing this summer ahead of the US Open, where she also is expected to receive a wild card. The seven-time major champion and former world No. 1 also will first play at next week's Canadian Open in Montreal as a wild card. Williams, 43, returned to competition last month after being sidelined since January with a hamstring injury sustained in Auckland. She played in three grass-court tournaments, culminating at Wimbledon, and had a 1-3 record. Williams, currently ranked No. 524 in the world, won her opening-round match at Auckland to open the 2023 season before losing in the second round and missing the next several months with her injury. During the summer hardcourt series in 2022 she failed to win a match in four tournaments played. The Western & Southern Open main draw gets underway in Mason, Ohio, on Aug. 13. Williams is one of five women who have held the No. 1 ranking competing in the tournament.
