I thought you guys would appreciate this article. Dodd is factually inaccurate on a number of issues, and seems to have 7 month old information.

- SDSU is currently negotiating a lease extension with the City to use the current stadium through the 2020 season.

- The Soccer City vote is not until 2018, not this year as Dodd suggested.

- SDSU just presented their plan to the City Council yesterday, and the City Council (Five person majority), wants to declare the land surplus and sell directly to SDSU. However, there is a legal battle due to the Soccer City Initiative, and the City Attorney is determining if the land can be sold directly to SDSU or not, as a result of the Soccer City Initiative.

- If it is determined that the City Council cannot sell directly to SDSU, then SDSU will place a competing initiative on the ballot in 2018 to counter the Soccer City initiative. SDSU will likely win this, as there are 300,000 SDSU alums in San Diego, and MLS will not be awarding a soccer franchise to San Diego.

- SDSU was negotiating with FS Investors for about two years. However, they walked away, as they believed FS was not negotiating in good faith. Since walking away from the negotiating table, SDSU has won every single battle, and has almost killed Soccer City.

- If somehow SDSU does not win the initiative vote or the land is not sold to SDSU outright, the SDSU AD has said multiple times, and recently said again today on radio, that they would build a stadium on the current campus, or another site.

- Recruiting has not been hurting so far, as we are closing on local kids as we speak, have 11 verbals, and are leading the conference in recruiting.

This was one of the more uninformed pieces I have ever read. Unfortunately, Parrish did the same thing to us a few years ago regarding potential basketball violations. The accusations were determined to be unfounded, and his source was a disgruntled wife of Justin Hutson, an assistant coach. Unfortunately, we lost a few recruits due to that speculation.

Thought you would all enjoy this. Flame away.
