    They very well could add them. But they’ve shown an inability to invest in success at the level their programs perform at, which for me would be a concern and I believe has been the concern in the past from the MW.

    I’m also not sure adding them really elevates the conference at all. There’s 2M people in the Dakotas and people in Minnesota too that would all of the sudden take an interest in the MW, when there is currently none to be had. There’s something to say about that.
    Mountain West, hope for the best.

    I think this is a very valid point.

    Apparently other colleges are more active in their attempts to move up.

    So new Basketball arena and new Football stadium + $55m or more.

    Sounds like ballpark a minimum investment of $150-250m if they come thru with all that. Are pockets in Sacramento really that deep?

    A whole lot of dough changes hands everyday in the Capital City of California. It has only ever been a matter of will with Sac State. Maybe now they got the wanna going.

    lol lost me at “climb to power in FCS” one 10 win season and one quarterfinal appearance in 6 years and absolute trash before that

    They at least have the state media aspect down

    Like I said. There has never been much enthusiasm at SAC State. If you build it, they will come. If there are actually people that want to do this investing, Sacramento is in the middle of a whole lot of people. It just takes money..
