  • UC Davis Athletics Joining Mountain West - Football to Follow
    Re MWC needing the football program next year or in 2 or 5 years, having this existing relationship with the conference seems like it would increase the chances that this move up would be subsidized by the conference, making it a little more feasible than if we were just on our own, competing with all the other western FCS schools for a spot in the MWC when it becomes available.

    It's possible that this really is an ideal situation for the university and the football program specifically. More prestigious, bigger budget conference with FBS peers and a ready-made destination for when the football program is ready to move up (and/or it is desperately needed to be called up by the MWC). It will hopefully help light a fire under the butts of everyone within the University and outside supporters to get the football program better situated to move up.

    Cherry on top is leapfrogging Sac despite all their public posturing and lobbying.
