Show Notes
Sacramento State University makes history by moving its football team to the Football Bowl Subdivision, joining the Mid-American Conference. The $23 million, five-year deal includes a $5 million reclassification fee and $18 million to the conference. The university plans to cover upfront costs with corporate sponsorships and gifts, and expects to renovate their stadium using existing student fees. Reactions on campus are mixed, with some worried about priorities and others excited about the potential benefits, including a projected $975 million economic impact and $46 million in game-day activity by next year. The deal ends in 2030 with a reassessment, inspired by success stories like Boise State but mindful of risks like travel costs and no revenue sharing.
