Sac State's bid for the Pac 12 Thread This is a confusing move unless there’s some plan to slide into a conference after the next (inevitable) conference shakeup. They join UConn, UMASS and Notre Dame as FBS independents. I don’t see any of those three traveling to Sac. Maybe a home/home with some MWC teams, but scheduling once conference okay starts seems challenging!
Probably the cheapest way to go FBS - leave the other sports in a ‘FCS’ (lower mid-major) conference, although there doesn’t seem to be a TV revenue stream to offset costs.
Can’t imagine selling a fee increase to students to pay for this!
Can’t imagine the donors who pledged that $50M NIL money had this in mind.
