We're heading into the final legs of February and soon March will be here! What does that mean?

Spring football!

Feel free to discuss any spring developments of your favorite school or anything you see discussed to help us prepare for next season.

Hopefully not too much talking injuries but that's unfortunately part of the deal.

Soring practice is also a good time to really dive into how new coaches are doing -- especially offenses (for myself).

Although they have taken away the Spring Portal, don't be surprised when you see player movement this spring. That's been a discussion on our local recruiting boards for a month plus now... The NCAA can't actually enforce these portal periods. They simply have set them up as guidelines. Things could become very interesting in April and May.

Anyways, chat away!
 
Welcome to the new and obvious addition to the MAC...Sacramento State football! $16 million to enter ($6 mil due first year), no revenue sharing for the first five years and required to pay for travel for visiting conference teams. They must be sitting on an oil well no one is aware of.

This is after the Mountain West denied them...and they recently allowed NDSU to make the jump. Seems like Sac St would have been a perfect addition for the newly depleted MWC but when it makes sense, it clearly is a bad idea. Jumping from FCS to FBS and all the financial restrictions are simply astonishing.

A big reason I started this thread was seeing this Sac State news!

Then I totally omitted it haha.
 
PAC-2 denied Sac St too.
I don't think the PAC wants another football school, just someone for CBB to offset the Zags which, again....why is SMC not already in? And no SMC, gotta go USF or Santa Clara to tap the Bay area market.
