That 5mm buy-in thing is a joke. Who does the money even go to? If you have a FBS conference invite in hand, what's the point? I can only see the buy-in making some sense if you don't have an FBS conference invite. You know who I'm looking at. If I was an anti-trust lawyer I'd be foaming at the mouth

Tim's really the man

Someone's salty about the UCD Lake Tahoe themed unis. Can't believe its come to this but I'm now rooting for Sac when they play UNR

What do we think about RB, though?

I like the kid from Tufts at corner too. The smaller school xfers usually have a lil extra something to prove, which can bode well. Will be interesting to see how the DBs shake out.

The gould's are failure-uppers and I'll die on that hill

That's a good point. Pre-season angst.. But it is entertaining!

It strikes me as though UCD is withholding the roster for some strategic reason, granted it was suspiciously posted and taken down so swiftly. That reason, no idea.

Goes to show how those removed from the Sacramento area really have no clue how far sacst really is from making that move. Just because I "really want something" doesn't make me "ready" for it.

Do we know yet if UCD "opted in" to the House settlement?

You and the 7 other real people and 3k internet bots who think this hype train is sustainable. If Bibby and Marion stick around for more than 2 years, I'll eat my words.

Never said it will be easy, but I'd rather come at the transition from a position of optionality vs. desperation. I think you can surmise which school's approach fits where. Sac St is reportedly facing a $37mm budget deficit. For comparison sake, Sonoma State faced a $24mm deficit before slashing almost their entire athletics department...https://sacramento.newsreview.com/2025/04/16/sacramento-state-braces-for-impact-with-37-million-budget-deficit/

Agree to disagree. No team in the Big Sky nor MWC has the academic draw UCD has. For the recruits with foresight beyond their nose, that degree is worth more than $2,500 you have to give back when you decide to x-fer for the 4th time..

Nah. Very scammy and short-sighted approach. Once the kids realize all the NIL is riddled with contingencies, they'll be off to chase the next shiny object.
