Pac-12 set to add Boise, 3 other MW schools So 120 or so FCS programs are just going to die? (I'm assuming a handful of the 129 move up.)
Meanwhile, UCLA and Cal are both bleeding red ink, including Cal taking on $400 M in unfunded stadium improvements. (Debt.) The campus took part of that debt for earthquake retrofitting, but still.
For years their fans said new facilities = wins, which didn't pan out. They struggle to reach .500.
Now they're all playing the NIL game, but it's really rent-a-player with the transfer portal. I saw eye-popping numbers for Cal... have no idea how or where those millions came from. Today's students are on their phones, or from other nations with no cultural appreciation for football.
