It looks like they are willing to be independent if need be. Interesting move. They are seemingly all in
Sac State making the move to FBS
- Thread starter dcut03
- Start date
Did you get the B10 and SEC’s approval yet?
Good for them. Something we should have done long time ago instead of getting locked in with the same conference mates.
Simple if the NCAA doesn't allow them to switch, just sue the shit out of them and do it anyways. NCAA has no legs to stand on!

Guessing they are making this decision to move now because MWC and PAC are not in an hurry to think about adding Sac State.
To me I’d rather add Tarleton State and or Texas State, tarleton averaged 20k now for football and built a state of the art arena for basketball. It’s really been a meteoric rise for TS.

First time I heard Tarleton State I thought who? Followed by why?
Looked into them more.....
They definitely have some upside. Tons of recent investment. Great attendance for FCS.
They are in the middle of that Texas oil money machine, great recruiting area and they are only 1-2 hours from DFW.
A lot of potential to be like or better than TCU.
Bring no money right now on Tarleton St.
It's Big 12 or bust for UNLV.
PAC is nothing no tv contract nothing.

Good for Sac State making the move but I don’t see independence working out for them long term. I imagine they think the MWC or PAC will eventually grab them.
I think UC Davis to the MW is pushing this too. Davis will be playing FBS football before too long and Sac State doesn’t want to be left behind in FCS.

Smart move for the MWC is to pick up the Texas schools and maybe Sac if possible to paint the PAC into a corner.
Good evening drunken whoremongers. So, lots of bad news from Pac-2 land. First (2 day old) link below, Texas State is staying in the Sun Belt. Second, the writer is an idiot - he totally has the Pac and MW confused. The MW is not desperate for an 8th full member, Hawaii is #8. Separately, unsubstantiated rumor on my idiot board is that the Pac offered Texas State a half share and they said no. Teresa swinging for the fences again, another dribbler back to the pitcher. Stupid bitch.
So, the incredibly Foresighted and Mighty Loyal One predicts that the Pac will (finally) offer Sac State, which will make their pitch to go FBS smoother. We got no other choice at this point, which is fine with this level-headed Coug.
And finally, the latest predictions from Cougland (link below) are that our media deal will be between $7-12M. Among the laughable quotes:
"Based on the calendar, though, something will be coming together soon because the conference has said it won't focus on landing a crucial eighth school — one that brings football and multiple-sports into the mix — until after a media rights agreement is pinned down. "
But no hurry, right? And as per the article, is the MW media deal reallly $3.5M thru 2032? I thought you were working on a new one for 2026.......
Enjoy....

I saw on line somewhere that Sac State has an enormous NIL budget? I think I saw that the owner of the Kings is involved and is the reason they are taking on a move upward in competition and a potential new stadium.
It said $50M… is this true?
It said $50M… is this true?
Supposedly yes. Most of it pledges I'm sure. Maybe $5M/year over 10 years? Way more than WSU has. And yes they plan to build a new stadium, and the Kings offered up their BB arena. F-ing Pac-2 are such dipshits. #20 TV market, energized community, big bucks stepping up. And we are blowing them off. Meanwhile, the Sun Belt (Tx St) tells us to pound sand.
Good job Teresa, you incompetent bitch.
3.5 is rumored. Could be 4.5 with Hawaii market now available (They were tied to a Spectrum TV deal) Hawaii adds a market of about 1.5 million people and an additional TV time slot. They bring more to the table than people think.
I'll go back to an earlier post. I don't know what the PAC media deal is, but I know what it's not, and it's likely not over 10 million per school.
Texas State is 100% right in demanding a full share. Here's why.
1st they would be financially at a competitive disadvantage in media money. .
2nd That compounds if the PAC is demanding a minimum investment in athletics from all schools. Now Texas State would be forced to invest the same amount despite making half as much. You're robbing Peter to pay Paul.
3rd They are taking on the most travel of anybody in the PAC, again a competitive disadvantage.
I said months ago NMSU may end up in the PAC. The PAC is running out of options quickly.
If I'm NMSU I'm telling the PAC full share or pound sand.

Between 7 and 12 million. 🤣 Really going out on a limb with that prediction. He Memphis you want possibly 12 million but also maybe 7?
Hey Texas State you get half...
Half of what?
12 million..
I'm listening.
Or 7.
I'm no longer listening..
Hawaii adds more than that. You have to factor most of the major Polynesian islands. Lots of family ties and bonds to players at Hawaii. Fiji, Samoa, and Tonga add 1.3m. Not to mention all of the families spread around the world. There are more Samoans in California than in Samoa.
Even if they have family that went to other schools, Hawaii football is closest to the Polynesian timezone.
You can say this about Sac St: They're not in reactionary mode, like we're accustomed. They have planned their work and now they're working their plan.
