The local Sacramento TV news stations have been covering Sac's move to the FBS extensively. They often lead the story with something like "Sac State is moving up to the big time in college football" and they talk about how they will be "playing at the highest level now," but they also comment about the $23+ million price tag often with some comments from people who are skeptical about the move.

See you guys in the MWC in 2031... LOL

When its a smart and beneficial decision for Davis football, we'll be in the MWC. No matter where Sac is.

You do realize that around 8/10 people think Sac made a bad decision/deal here right?
As a contrast, NDSU public sentiment is waaaaay more positive (comparing because the moves were made at nearly the same time).

Nothing to see here, I guess?

Jealousy is the tribute mediocrity pays to genius.

:rofl:

Preach!!

I hope you guys are successful. A stable Mountain West Conference that included Davis, Sac St, San Jose and Nevada would be great for athletes, travel costs as well as fans being able to attend many games. Perhaps myself and 95% of the opinions I've seen in the college sports world will be wrong and this will be a great move.

I echo this. A world where UC Davis and Sac can continue the rivalry is the best case scenario for both schools long term.

I hope your move lights a fire under our donor alumni. Why so much trash talking to Fresno State though?

Gary May seems to be striking a diplomatic congratulatory tone

Sounds like his future plan is to wait 5 years to become a FBS independent and schedule 6-7 away games to get $. He literally wants to be the Lincoln college football team in FBS.

Everyone chill out, we will both be FBS soon. We just both have stadium work to do over next 5 years...

truthfully a majority of us want sac state to succeed. We just worry that dr wood is gambling the schools future for his ego and are especially concerned when he pushes out crazy false revenue possibilities and no real plan of how he will fund everything rather than those crazy projections. Even in later interviews he and Orr are specific in their wording in saying they no student fees that are earmarked for academics will be used. Hidden implications that fees for athletics can/will be used for their MAC movement. Which is fine but don’t try to act like students aren’t helping fund the move.
