San Jose State is believed to have asked its two rivals to each pay a fee of $1,250.

San Jose State athletics director Jeff Konya is quoted as saying in an email to Boise State: “Your institution’s arbitrary decision not to play an otherwise eligible NCAA team has resulted in harm for SJSU and for our institution’s brand.
