I was wondering the same thing!

I would suggest that it may be within the next 5 years, not after. It could be after, but the future after that of the rules to move up may change so getting it done before seems like making the most sense.

it’s a bit more complicated than I put it but basically the $5 million fee to move to FBS and the movement from FCS to FBS (as I understand it) has now been cemented for the next 5 years. This doesn’t mean a ton of schools are going to move to the FBS all of a sudden but seems to stabilize how moving up would work. I am simply saying that this next 5 year window would give ample time for stadium upgrades if Davis/the mw decide to make the football team FBS. It was previously uncertain what rules/requirements could change until this committee meeting. I can’t imagine we would really join the MW for all sports and not take/or told we would have the opportunity…

Seems like with these changes that 5 year window will be the timeframe that Davis would most likely move to the MW for football. Makes sense renovation wise for time frames.

5 year window (bascially) for FBS

I would like to get that master plan released instead of random postings about improvements cause I’m also curious. This may have been planned a long time ago. Didn’t see a problem with the bleachers we had but I’ll take it upgrade are good… more needing of actual concessions and the building being painted.

it’s a fun time of year watching everything get into motion!

I walked by. Only thing I have to note is Davis has been weirdly nice weather wise this summer. Like barely any 100 degree days so far.

the guests have been next level recently.

oh my goodness I am so excited for this rekindled Nevada rivalry…. I have so much crap to yell

I was referring to posts I have seen on instagram not the youtube video, should have clarified.

New QB 1 (assumed) is looking ripped!

Well thought out.

Im curious when we are going to get that athletic facility plan back from ELS architecture that was mentioned as coming this summer in the last IGNITE update?

this was a fascinating write up.

Either cbs knows something we don’t and we are going fbs or they screwed up the graphic

so good!

This is a really helpful post! The minor-league and college stadium relationships are interesting..

Well this is interesting… adding SUU and Utah Tech seems to be the Big Sky backfilling Sac States exit… and future proofing the conference for when davis inevitably leaves for the FBS in the future. Can’t see any other reason to add Utah Tech as well.

from reddit: While Sacramento State was yelling about how they're a lock for the Pac-12, Davis quietly announced they were moving from the Big West to the Mountain West as a non-football member in 2026, but the agreement includes that the Mountain West has to give priority to UC Davis before inviting another FCS school. So Davis is still a football affiliate in the Big Sky, but everyone knows that they have one foot out the door

this is exactly what I am talking about, I think these moves from davis and the big sky are correlated despite sac decisions seeming to push everything.
