Football Industrial Complex an appropriate moniker. As much as I love college football, I’ve resigned myself that in 2-3 years, it will be significantly different and there will be a greater chasm of the haves and have nots.
Move on….Beach WVB should be treated and promoted as Long Beach’s Fall sport. It is the best vehicle in getting the community and alumni back to campus in Fall. There are ways to make this happen. The admin/Tyler started this process. Work it and see it through.
Football is a money drain! It was fun when we had it and we had some great teams and games. We could not compete with UCLA and USC for fans, press, players or money. That day has passed. LBSU will never have football again. Someday San Jose St. and Sac st. will realize that fact too.
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...
