Sac State to apply this week to move to FBS as an independent

[damnyoutuesday]

Absolutely delusional move by the Sac State administration. 5 total conference championships in all sports since 2012, horrible facilities, and a city that doesn't care about them. They got high off their own misplaced Sac-12 hype

Very interesting. I assume the Pac-12 is waiting for Sac State to actually build their 25,000 seat brand new football stadium before giving them an invite as opposed to just taking their word for it that it will ever happen. That "new" basketball arena they're playing in next year will surely draw in the big crowds as well...or not.

Sort of saves the MW from having to take UCD. UCD had a clause that they get an offer before any other FCS teams. makes Sac independent and doesn't trigger the clause if the MW wants sac...

In all fairness, Sacramento and surrounding areas might start to care about Sac State sports if they were playing against "name" teams. Northern California cares only about pro sports and "major" college (although not even that much about Cal or Stanford, honestly). But Sac might be able to get a Fresno State level of support if it moves up.

As far a football goes, this is just watering down the FCS even more.
