App is considered a success story. GameDay visited and they have had some really great seasons. They have incredible attendance for a G5 team.

The Big Sky has a limit of 63 scholies

Number of scholarships is why Sac is leaving the BigSky, they want to build an FBS roster, They claim to have a schedule for next year, probably including some FBS teams. Being FCS independent allows them to build a FBS roster, with the same schedule they would have if they were FBS Independent, no difference. Strengthens their future court case.

The comment about “not making the travel work” is absolutely ridiculous.

have they released their full schedule? Man, if they can get some big matchups and continue to grow their brand. Very interesting.

Fascinating....the difference in management styles between the UCD and Sac State Athletic Departments.

The bluster and hubris has made for some great entertainment.

I guess Sac State is still in the BSC this season but does Orr get to remain the BSC representative on the FCS playoff committee? I think this is year 2 of a 4 year term but I can’t imagine the powers that be Missoula and Bozeman have much interest left in him.

You got to admit this is pretty fun to watch. Now we just need to figure out how to capitalize off the SACST free marketing. That UCD/SACST basketball game in Davis should be a complete white out or something special planned. Same for the football game. Might be a great environment for recruits!

I would be hard pressed to call of this "fun". I think the only fun thing in association with Sac is when they are losing to the Ags

“… free marketing.”

Trust me, they are paying through the nose for all the “free” marketing.

I’m talking about us. We can capitalize on this popularity. We can use it. Gotta figure out the best way. Opportunity!!

hey this is great! We are talking football in June!!

so is the “Pryor coach” Richard Pryor? And his previous tweet about the logic of “a lack of a conference invite signals readiness”????? Well they didn’t get an invite so….? Obviously should have said “unreadiness”. He needs to proof read or get a spell checker and logic checker.

I can't tell if this is real or not. Most comments are not believing this.

only way this would be a possibility would be from dr wood getting desperate and willing to take 0 share for like 3 years and then like .25-.5 share for another 2-3 years.

You know, it wouldn't really surprise me when you consider the recruits they have brought in, the size of the Sac area media market and apparently the big money that has been promised from deep pockets if they get an invite to the PAC12. I'm not a fan of the "Colorado/ Deion Sanders" style they are following but they just may make it happen.

it sounds like Texas State is the choice (unless they decide to go to 9 football, which doesn't make much sense). This seems to be the consensus of several articles after the Pac12 just signed a deal with CBS:

Man, that would be something if SACST secures a PAC bid.

Luke Fletcher just spits anything ever

yes, CBS has signed a deal as I too understand. Gary Danielson and Brad Nessler were my favorite announcing team - I guess more old school and less prattling on after each play. Danielson retired after last season. Will miss him.

also they wouldn't really help the Pac at all.

I can't believe that Sac actually went through with this whole process without having some backroom handshakes already done. They did well in hiring Marion, but the administrative handling of their "transition" to FBS is looking nothing short of disastrous at this point.

I have SERIOUS doubts the PAC is interested in Sac at this point. They've already insisted numerous times they aren't interested in adding a FCS transition team and there are already established FBS programs looking to move conferences.

Same Brewster whose Gophers lost twice to Junior Varsity teams from North Dakota State?

There’s a significant amount of money going out. Can someone help clarify where the incoming revenue is expected to come from?

Only a handful of fans—maybe three—are voicing concerns about this decision on X. I think that speaks volumes.
