Mikey Williams Avg 5.1 ppg @ UCF, Watch out. Sac might go into double figures per game with this line up! Even if they don’t win we will sure hear about how cool they are on social media. Lol.
Talk about making a mountain out of a mole hill. Their social teams sure knows how to leak insignificant info and make it sound impressive. They even hype up their “new”. BB facility in the recent press releases.
Sac state is like a used cars salesman.
We will see how Bibby and the team does. Hopefully they do okay.

while true it is not fully accurate on how to get the funding, some is true. It isn’t fair to point any opposing view as fictional just because you don’t agree with it.
Some of the concerns raised were valid and some of the things mentioned were true. Such as students not voting for increased student fees for athletics and how they asked the committee to approve the loan and fees before they announce the known academic shortfall/cuts when those same $/athletic fees could have gone towards academic/university things if they proposed it for that instead. Now that it is approved they can’t simply re allocate the funds already collected for this year but the students/committee can also easily vote to cancel the athletics fees for future years.
You got to admit that Dr wood and his brother had been a bit sneaky on passing things through at the local/university level, and also leaking “positive” info to press/social medial while also sweeping any negatives views and info.
We all (including myself) want sac to succeed athletically AND academically, and are concerned about the current approach

yeah. That’s typically what it is done for, hence curry and Trae doing the same. Shaq wants to help his son while also building up his resume to possibly be mama GM in the future. Who knows. Sac does a lot of things I do not recommend (mostly financially) but they are very media savvy and are recruiting better because most recruits and people in X are impressed since they do any real background research.

it is mostly a figurehead position in college basketball at the moment, like Trae young as Oklahoma GM, and Curry at Davidson. Shaq sure is busy with being an analyst, sheriff, and now GM. Lol.

#3. Go Lan. Go Ags. I think he will do well with the Pats. I wished my 49ers signed him.

yes. Some of it is that it’s in NIL. But I see many of their new transfers came from questionable past and are taking a little less now and being told to go to sac to rehab their image and improve their NIL next year and leave. Their coach has hinted as much in previous interviews.
Sac state is now 2nd chance U with rental players(not students) will stay only 1 year.
I don’t not like that college football is becoming the NFL with less regulation and kids changing schools yearly.

Exactly, this means that UCD athletics alone has consistently raised more than the whole sac state university for their “give day”. So much for their big deep pocketed donors/sponsors tripping over themselves to give sac state football their Money.

UCD total give day was almost 4.5 million

Sure beat sac state athletic give day of $81,833

agree. I respect coach Les and think he is a great guy. But we need some change and excitement in MBB.

if true. Then kudos to sac. Glad they are building some excitement. Hopefully they continue to succeed and not fumble at the end.

No pics of 7k, so probably didn’t happen. Their propaganda team likely counted every person who went to campus that day including people going to class/etc.

he and his team of fake social Influencers are the ones giving fake info and propaganda to build up fake excitement to get more $ and conference invite.

I think he meant the beginning of construction will begin in 2026 or 2027. But even then he is now starting his back track of doing phase 1 of lights/bathroom this year and next phase “most likely” next year. In reality he probably has $0 for it yet and hopes to build some excitement with all his propaganda, move to FBS, and hoping for a good 1st year of Marion. I doubt they will have the funda to officially start phase 2 before 2027

Some snippets from the Reddit page.
- seems that most student disapprove the new athletic fees. He also sort of admits to some of his previous lies including no conference showing real interest in adding them, and he is now giving updated timeline for “stadium”.

I agree. There is no true analogy to what is happening now. The college football world seems to be evolving so fast the past 1-2 years.
I just posted it since it was something posted on YouTube related to this subject.

you are right a few years was wrong. I don’t know about what was happening 30 years ago. But I was referring to their athletic dept woes in 2003 - 2006 (which is around 20 years so maybe you were referring to then as well). But they gambled on theirselves then and it worked out. Hopefully it does again. We do hope they succeed and that we continue our rivalry. I hope they do find a home within the PAC or MW. I and many other just voice our concerns and many including myself do not fully trust Dr Wood who seems to always make it about him self and would respond and argue with random people in X.

it won’t. Many schools including sac and our own school/UCD made it clear that athletic funding will be completely separate from general funding. So if sac did happen to fail, they still have their new student athletic fees to fall back to, but would have to trim cost down such as cutting football completely along with some other programs. Many state CA schools are already trimming their athletic costs/programs this year. Sac almost cut football a few years ago but were able to make it work and are now gambling big. We will see if it pays out. “FBS or bust”
