Good points. Very sad what has happened to college athletics...
to compete with the FCS schools?
Sacramento football is the SF 49ers
we need a $250 endowment to even think to do D1 football, plus a $250 M endowment to even get a stadium started or rent out the one in Carson at some cost.
Fresno could not get the city to get a bond passed to support
you could spend a billion dollars to get into the Pac-whatever or Mountain West that might not even exist in 10 years.
football is atrophiing at the youth level. It is driving so many unintended bad decisions, so why would we waste one ounce on a sport that no longer has any positive influence on much of anything?
the four football P4s will change in the next 5-10 years, as the effects of Universities trying to become pro football franchises has more fall-out. OSU & Wazzou were the first and won't be the last.
Heck, if we had Ack as the coach 6 years ago, maybe the Pac-whatever would be inviting Beach & Gonzaga as basketball only members.
but I digress.
but all the excuses apply to Sac State as well. Sac State has a new president who is a huge supporter of Sac State athletics. Look who we have...

If you're an alum from the 60's or 70's like me, this is downright depressing. Crappy Suc State moving ahead while we're stuck and sliding downwards...
