I’m glad to see a studious approach to this. Sometimes one architect firm will own a gig from blue sky to completion but it is also pretty common for one firm to propose a master plan and conceptual design with different firms chosen for actual schematic designs. I’m not familiar with this firm but looks like they have a portfolio of several aquatic and mixed use projects. It would seem like football and basketball venues have to be part of this conversation but I could also theoretically see something mixed use to include retail, dining, entertainment, office, hotel, or housing elements as a part of an athletic village.

if I were a big west fan in 2026, I’d hope they would skip UVU. Leave it as a 10-team SOCal league. Makes scheduling easier.

They should invite Cal State San Bernadino so people can get CSUSB and UCSB confused.

Most definitely reading into it too deeply but having multiple davis football coaches repost the Gloria Nevarez (mw commissioner) visiting davis post on their accounts commenting about how awesome davis is makes me wonder if they tell recruits the mw is in sight for fb.

Conference names used to mean something. Admitting UC Davis makes a mockery of mountains everywhere.

Mockery? Why UC Davis is less 90 minutes away from the smallest mountain range in the world.

:rofl:

I can't see why they wouldn't mention it. Even though it's unspoken, it's pretty obvious what the MWC and UCD are trying to do. It would almost be weirder if the coaches didn't say anything about it. Parents and players will want to know what the program will look like in the next 4-5 years.

The question is not whether the MWC and UCD see a football fit, it's when.

Perhaps the opened twelve pack could invite Northern Colorado ? When I think of the Pacific the first place that comes to mind is Greeley.
