initially it probably does nothing. Long term I wonder if Southern Utah has ntentions of cutting football. That of course is just speculation without any factual evidence. Not having been there myself I don't know how heavily invested the university is in its program.

I could see Sac State dropping their team though.
They almost did in the early 90's but the students voted to tax themselves to keep it going. I doubt they'd be willing to do so again. UCD and Cal Poly seem to be very heavily invested in theirs .

we’d never leave the Big West for the other sports. Can’t see the WAC letting us as football only. Travel for football would be worse than Big Sky

I would be sad to see Sac state cut football. It is good for FCS to have three teams in CA. We would never leave the BW due to cost and like minded schools. The WAC needs another FCS school to get an autobid.
