Problem for SDSU is they have 0 leverage in any of these discussions. They have no plan B, they're relying completely on everyone else coming up with a plan for the site that will work for them, so quite honestly they better be a little more willing to work with the plans suggested. They're very welcome to buy their own land and build their own football stadium if they want to, but that's obviously not an option they're considering.

Any developers with the capital to build out that Q property is going to do what's best for them financially (and the area economically) and a football stadium for the Aztecs doesn't rank high on the impact list. They better be careful or the plans will move forward without them and they'll be left to decide how valuable football really is.
