I guess if one wants to game the system, then create 350 email accounts and donate one penny per account. $3.50 will unlock the $250k gift.

UCD was generally an above average team with a couple of great years in the Big West. Les should coach next year. UCD will increase the basketball budget as per rules of the Mountain West contract. (However, I can't confirm since I don't exactly recall the agreement . I do recall we have to schedule winnable home games. )

On the other hand, if our Massey rating is continually worse than the 150th best team in Division I while playing in the Mountain West, then I'd say his job may be in jeopardy.

I only see this:

I do recall UCD couldn't host in some years due to the University Credit Union Center has been reserved for Picnic Day or other activities. I presume it wouldn't be an issue this year.

I think Hannah Wickstrom is the player of the game.

To clear it even further, I see one line saying, "CSUF -135."
If you bet $135 on CSUF, then you'll win $100.

I believe +118 means if you bet $100, then you win $118.
+170 means if you bet $100, you win $170.

Just to be clear, our football players get full scholarship as well as NIL that covers summer rent, food, and parking?

My issue was that the women's team couldn't host an NIT game in probably two years, because the arena was occupied by Picnic Day activities.

"also…how ironic that we did not want to schedule Sac for the Causeway anymore because we thought we held the cards, yet, now it’s them who really can’t schedule us."

I posted this three months ago:

Starting after the 15 minute mark, UC Davis Athletics Director Rocko DeLuca said, "The reality is I don't like having the imbalance and support between the two programs, and until I see ultimately where Sac State is gonna land, I don't think it's fair to commit my student athletes to that until I know whether they are FBS, FCS, and see how that plays out."

"Participating schools are expected to include Air Force Falcons, Wyoming Cowboys, New Mexico Lobos, UTEP Miners, UNLV Rebels, Nevada Wolf Pack, San Jose State Spartans, Northern Illinois Huskies, Hawaii Rainbow Warriors, and North Dakota State Bison."

If the exclusion of UC Davis is correct, then I'm wondering how we can watch basketball if the game is not on linear TV.

"On the related subject of depth or lack there of, it is puzzling when a team has 105 players on the roster, has injuries in the high teens or low twenties, and doesn’t have 60 players to take on a road trip."

Does anyone know our roster size?

I do have a question about donations. What is the cutoff period when the benefits of your donations are for this academic year or the next academic year? Or perhaps the benefits of your donations are based on the regular calendar year?

"* UC Davis agreed to spend a minimum figure in men's basketball game guarantees for "winnable home games;" that benchmark was redacted"

It will be interesting to guess which home games are considered winnable next season.

My conspiracy theory is that Rocko reads this thread.

"Perineal" is a poor word choice.

I thought a big reason was that many people were sick.

If UCD moves up, we'll also be ineligible for two years.

I just watched the ejection. However, I was more impressed with the UCSB attendance. It's very uncommon to see the UCD attendance at that level.
