UC Davis Athletics Joining Mountain West - Football to Follow this is a really interesting clip. Again, it really does seem like a matter of when not if. I like our position. We play in the FCS, continue to have a great chance to win a national title, don’t rush joining, working up our facilities and funding and then approach our already committed conference and say “hey! We’re ready!” I know she says the MW is not required to choose Davis (but they must talk to Davis before adding any other FCS team), but the comments about having a good faith, serious conversation when they feel Davis is “ready” as she puts it mixed with her stuff about the sac market, etc seemed notable.
She commented also that they chose Davis because of its resources, size and academic background. I have heard the conference repeat again and again how Davis is committed to meeting the MW when it comes to funding support.
