Beginning this season there are changes to scholarship limits for both FBS and FCS programs.

FBS teams can now offer up to 105 scholarships, an increase from the previous 85. They are equivalency scholarships, meaning they can be divided into partial awards.

FCS teams, if they opt into the House v. NCAA settlement (like Sac State did), can also increase their scholarship limit to 105, the same as FBS, with a maximum roster limit of 105 players. FCS teams that choose not to opt into the settlement will retain their 63-scholarship limit.

Um charged, not convicted. This is still America, sir.

He ain't wrong.

LOL, clickbait. So many errors and misinformation - no clue how the funding for athletics works. I love AI generated content from Thailand. "TheTouchback.com" has picked up on a click trend for Sacramento best I can tell and jealous Idaho guy has been posting some weird videos.

It very well could be, and will be @Davis. Some transitioning schools have kept rivalry games going (like UD and Del. State), but the FBS side never visits the FCS side.

I could see SAC being hesitant enough to not schedule Davis until they are both FBS though. Perhaps both in the MWC or PAC-X in 2-3 years...

On SacBuzz, this was my best guess at what they're trying to work for 2026.

9/5/26 Vs. Cal Poly
9/12/26 @ Fresno State (Game is already scheduled)
9/19/26 Vs. Lamar (Game is already scheduled)
9/26/26 @ Boise State
10/3/26 @Wazzu
10/10/26 vs. San Jose State (If we COULD host an FBS team as a transitioning program, SJSU would be it)
10/17/26 @ UCONN (long trip to fellow Indy that thinks they might clip us for a W)
10/24/26 BYE
10/31/26 @ Oregon State (Hornets are 1-0 against the Beavers since 2011)
11/7/26 vs. Tarleton State (home and home with another team with FBS dreams?)
11/14/26 @Colorado State (Lost to us 41-10 in 2022)
11/21/26 vs. UC Davis (Game is already scheduled, last Causeway?)
11/28/26 @ Utah State

How long has it been since a Hornet and an Aggie were picked in same draft? If you count Skatt and Teddye (I would), there might be 2 Hornets and 2 Aggies taken in this one...

Everything has already been filed with the NCAA, and then it moves to FBS subcommittee for approval. While not 100%, it's pretty much considered to be a done deal. SAC will play an FBS schedule beginning in '26.

There have been some hiccups with where the Olympic sports will land in the interim (with the WAC falling apart), but most people think either something will be worked out with the BSC, or we'll move to the BW, WCC or Summit temporarily.

Finally brought in a couple without records!

I'll take things that never happened for $500, Alex!

I have been to many spring games at Davis and Sac State over the past 25 years. I think 500-ish is the most I've ever seen. So, yeah, yesterday blew my mind. There were families (like mine), dorm kids, greeks, people that wanted to hit the food trucks, local teams, good mix.

Impressive considering Kings and A's were playing, and Master's was on too.

Lol, I saw plenty of 7k home games back in the day. There was 100% 7k there yesterday...lol

.

I would look for 5/7 split of home vs. away games in 26 and 27. Big paydays on the road, and less home games during stadium construction won't be the worst.

Oh we would totally take our "Equal Opportunity Asshole" back if Marion doesn't work out... LOL

No, basketball will use the WELL and Golden1Center. The nest and a third auxiliary gym will be used for ICA practices, Intramurals, etc.

They'll have more access overall. Use of the WELL court when not in use, and the current Nest in addition to the practice Gym in Yosemite Hall will be available for student use.

And yes, we voted for this in 2004...

Pretty sure you know the answer to that, but he was instrumental in getting student buy in - new fees approved, donors. He knows what he's doing.

Yeah, why would we want the guy largely responsible for securing the SnapDragon stadium project at San Diego State in charge of our facility and long-term athletics goals!?
