It could end up being NMSU and UTEP nothing is concrete at the moment.

They very well could add them. But they’ve shown an inability to invest in success at the level their programs perform at, which for me would be a concern and I believe has been the concern in the past from the MW.

I’m also not sure adding them really elevates the conference at all. There’s 2M people in the Dakotas and people in Minnesota too that would all of the sudden take an interest in the MW, when there is currently none to be had. There’s something to say about that.

I think this is a very valid point.

Apparently other colleges are more active in their attempts to move up.

So new Basketball arena and new Football stadium + $55m or more.

Sounds like ballpark a minimum investment of $150-250m if they come thru with all that. Are pockets in Sacramento really that deep?

A whole lot of dough changes hands everyday in the Capital City of California. It has only ever been a matter of will with Sac State. Maybe now they got the wanna going.

Like I said. There has never been much enthusiasm at SAC State. If you build it, they will come. If there are actually people that want to do this investing, Sacramento is in the middle of a whole lot of people. It just takes money..

Well, the school and the students at Sac St are already shelling out over $30M annually (about 84% of their total athletic revenue) to support their FCS athletic department: https://sportsdata.usatoday.com/ncaa/finances/110617. Not sure if anyone will come if they build it but also not sure how an athletic department that only pulls in about $300k in ticket revenue and about $700k in contributions expects to fund an FBS move without raking in a lot more money from the school's general fund and/or from student fees.
