These aren’t even to the level of renderings. They are space plans. No architectural or design or construction firms. Literally a space planning consultant with a very simple conceptual drawing.

Those should not be confused with construction plans.

That beer garden prints money. Replicating should be the top priority at Aggie Stadium.

Junior commitments are incredibly meaningful in June and July. The recruiting calendar has shifted forward and the big guys have allocated their NIL money. They won’t all stick but the odds of losing someone laterally or even up to unpaid G6 is much lower than the old days.

This roster has no chance. Tom Abatemarco is on staff? What a clown show. The only interesting thing to watch will be at what point they pull the plug on Les.

This isn’t exactly the case. Most of these guys are FCS recruits and a few have real offers from lower level FBS programs like Nevada. A committable offer from Cal and Stanford comes with a paycheck and nobody passes that up.

Yes, much of the 247 west coast team moved to On3. There are far fewer players in the eval base than in years prior with the P4 going so heavy in the portal.

It’s really 85 or below on the 247/scout metric where you don’t have real evaluations. Those would have been 2* players under the old system. And with the recruiting calendars moving up a lot of the players that slipped through the cracks of FBS will no longer have stars or evals since recruiting analysts are now aware so early of which guys will land at their subscription site schools.

Rough.

Dunning also said that about the moves to the America West, the CCAA and the Big West.

The smart FCS and G6 schools are moving to this model. Fewer GA seats and more differentiated experiences in the venues to generate revenue.

Celebrating John Madden and the new football building in SLO. Focusing on ISU as a televised road team is missing the point.

Consider last year’s home games included NDSU, Seattle and Louisiana.

Sure doesn’t look like it. Things are not well.

Here’s a hint. ESPN isn’t really looking at the visiting teams aside from preferring competitive games. They do not have a contractual relationship with the new PAC 12, MWC, or the Big Ten, so there are open windows when the ACC and Big 12 can’t fill two slots on or after 7 pacific. Which is often. They are evaluating these Big Sky programs and the conference relative to viewership of the MWC and P12 in prior years.

That week is loaded in the SEC. ESPN does not want two Big Sky games on their networks at the same time and MSU has that night. So it’s unlikely.

You understand there are more football transfers coming in than going out, no?

This is correct. Irvine’s hoops budget is significantly larger. Same with SD.

Berkeley, UCLA and Davis have absolutely spent tens of millions on ICA. What Sac is doing here is different. They are redirecting university funds to a third party that is contracting with football and basketball players.

CSUS is funding NIL with the president’s discretionary budget. It’s not clear that the CSU System actually knows this is happening.
