Would be like a Deion hire, no?

Exactly. Embarrassing.

Remember when USC bailed out because we were not FBS? That was embarrassing. A premier university should not be subjected to that. We have to play with the big boys. Our rankings, endowment, alumni say we should be playing with the big boys. Football should say the same.

I have no idea if this is good or bad. None of those school seem to be good schools. Am I wrong here?

To be clear my Stanford work buddy texted me this before I saw it on the web. So people are picking up on it.

So does this mean we will be FBS?

It’s so laughable the idea of dropping football. It brings so much joy to alumnae. It keeps us connected to the university in such a special way. We cannot expect to excel based on attrition.

If that is the message we get from the AD especially with all the nuanced messages regarding moving on up, we need a new AD. Simple as that. And if we want to play with the big boys and girls we need to be ready to show these people the door a lot quicker. That’s just how business is done. No handouts. None of us paid tuition or donate for lackadaisacal efforts.

We need to move to FBS.

It’s going to happen, I just don’t know when.

I hope we don’t just have a “concept of a plan”.

Do they have a "concept of a plan"?

Let’s be realistic. If we play Cal, UCLA, USC, Michigan…whomever. I am driving from LA to Davis with an Outback full of Aggies and potentially UCLA/Cal/Stanford co workers in it. That will happen many times over. I am not doing that for EWU, Montana State, SUU…you get the picture.

We are next to Napa for Christs sake. You know how many people from those big name schools will come for that alone?

I am all for this. We honestly need to address this with the Chancellor. That’s the only way things can change rapidly.

We should be able to win today

We should be head to head with these guys

We need to pass

I love this!!!!

Jake Maier, an Aggie Legend!!!!

seriously, why don’t they open the selection up to Alumni?

We needed this, but the Managerial Econ major was and is super super good.

Greg was my raquetball instructor. That guy never gave me an easy game and always won.
