correct on all. You have to announce the extension, but I don’t think it’s any surprise he’d sign an extension or that we’d want to. We also know it’s extremely unlikely he’d jump to another FCS school. It’s maybe likely he’d jump to the right FBS program with the right offer. We can say he likes Davis etc. etc. etc. but truth is there are tons of great colleges and towns across the country that could set him and his children up for life with a nice few years away from here with the massive increase compare to the money we could offer as FCS. This is a no-brainer.

It’s also a no-brainer to want to win. Find me an announcement for a new/extended coach that says anything different, that he’s not a role model for the players, doesn’t represent the values of the school, so on and so on. Heck, even dismissals/firings can be complimentary to the outgoing coach.

The missing piece in this to me is talking about tangibles…what are doing or have done. That we are 25% or 65% towards our fundraising goals for stadium expansion, we actually have increased NIL/House $, we continue to explore new funding/marketing opps to achieve our goals.

What I read is we are simply staying the course, just extending Coach but no vision of how the CAMPUS will work towards revenue development. They have to work on that too and not just hope we donate. Instead of self fulfilling, it’s self staying. I see nothing to be excited about from the statement itself, which I believe is a missed opportunity because I don’t doubt there is much more that is going on that’s not being provided.

This is a problem if correct, as the streaming revenue was supposed to go to the schools?

So what is UCD doing to maximize revenue????

I think it's pretty standard fare to be tight-lipped with these types of things. NDSU's AD was never publicly open (just alot of external speculation) about their MWC ambitions until **boom** it happened. Keeping cards close to chest also invites interest from other conferences. You better believe the PAC will come sniffing around if their biggest competitor on the West Coast expresses interest. If Rocko said "all in on MWC" it closes doors to potential opportunities for when the timing is right, is all I'm saying

The subscription model is based on participating in football. Even football streaming of the MWC network, which was free, was not a significant number. And that was with Boise, Fresno and SDSU in the league.

Again, who are these people? They didn’t show in Seattle last season. Didn’t show up at Cal in 24. Really limited support at Corvallis and Fresno pre-Plough. Even in 18 the Ags beat SJSU week 1 with no support (for either team) and played at a ranked Stanford team two weeks later in front of a friends and family crowd.
