  • UC Davis Athletics Joining Mountain West - Football to Follow
    ↪LeFan
    Hahaha. Not our guiding light but just an intriguing story.

    Davis will move up to FBS and it will be an exciting time. What we need now is an FCS Championship. Just one.

    Some AI help:

    In 2024, the Indiana University (IU) athletic department generated a record $173.5 million in total operating revenue, with football driving significant gains. Ticket sales for football increased by roughly $4 million to $12.8 million. Following a successful season, the team was set to earn a $20 million NCAA payout, alongside a $50 million, 20-year stadium naming rights deal attributed to program momentum.
    Key financial highlights for IU Football:
    Revenue & Growth: Ticket sales grew significantly, with athletic director Scott Dolson noting a more than 50% increase in sales, driven by coach Curt Cignetti's first year.
    Investment & Spending: IU increased its annual football spending to $61.6 million, exceeding the conference median.
    NIL and Donations: The football program raised over $2 million in NIL funds via a matching campaign, with significant contributions from donors like Mark Cuban.
    Overall Department Health: While the department had record revenue, it reported a $3 million deficit in 2024.
    The 2025 figures (covering the 2024-25 season) are not yet fully finalized, but the team's success resulted in massive, unprecedented revenue growth from tickets, concessions, and donations.

    I think we just need the season to start again to shut us up. I need CFB right now now!!!

    Sac State has a lot of hubris.

    I am all for the move to FBS, but if we can win some chips at the FCS level let’s do so. FBS in 5 years!!!!!

    Sounds like an Aggie Square. I’m glad we started building before them, but I am also glad for the higher education investment.

    Yeah, it was a personal decision. Sometimes you love a place but have to leave because of the economics of the situation. I still consider him an Aggie for being here. The most formative year I had at Davis was my freshman year.

    Man, these are fire. That interlocking CA is wild. I have legitimately never seen it. How did we end up with the double font logo and the cartoon horse from the 2000s?

    Meat eater. I also like wine though.

    Maybe we can start referring to the stadium as the wine press or vineyard…

    I like the winemakers. I hate the idea of anything cow related. I was on campus for nearly five years and I only saw the cows once during freshman orientation.

    CA logo should never go away. I absolutely love it.

    The Davis script is nice, but too generic in my opinion.

    Maybe you can squeak away in High School, but I feel that would be almost impossible at a University. I do believe that across the board the universities in California are the best. I really can’t think of one private or public that you can easily graduate from with a Bachelor of Science degree. Especially a UC and CSU. Some of my coworkers that have gone the CSU route are some of the most capable I have met.

    I feel you. This seemed rather sudden.

    Wait, are you a Davis or Sac State grad?

    This is the new normal unfortunately. It’s the new normal everywhere including the “top” programs.
