A new and better FBS thread

Sac State down 27-9 to NAU, will probably have 8 fans at their next home game...gotta get them into the FBS. MAAARRRKKKKETTSSS!!!!

This is not a market size add..Their football is on the rise. The best feature is the international airport 30 miles away in Austin. Easy easy travel. 33 thousand students and a whole bunch of alumni. 28 thousand seat stadium, 10 thousand seat basketball arena. warm weather for baseball, softball etc..they would be in the AAC right now but UTSA is only 45 minutes away..

They are on a bit of island but that is the case with the Belt and the Pac State.

There are not a whole lot of schools to choose from relatively close to MW mountain schools. I hope the MW gets them..

Location location location. I am not sure the MW is looking to add any FCS but who knows..Davis is a legit maybe ..Sac State probably not.

They are the best option left on the table for FBS additions, I won't argue with that.

Sources: Texas State officials have received a verbal offer to join the Mountain West. A decision is expected in the upcoming days, as the talks continue. The Pac-12 has also expressed interest, but that has yet to yield an offer.

This was expected. Speculation floating this "leak" was intentional to put pressure on PAC and AAC. Thamel is well connected, and those leaks are rarely by accident.

SBC, PAC, AAC, MWC all want them. MAC is the only G5 that won’t be a player in that battle/bidding war. MWC or AAC might outbid the PAC there. I suspect PAC still trying to negotiate with Memphis/Tulane or others. Won’t be shocked if something with PAC and a top SBC team pops up out of the blue next.

So bad. These idiots philosophy is so dumb, might as well add UMKC because we all know they have hundreds of fans in Kansas City. They could also add Chicago State because hey, despite being the worst program ever, they are in Chicago. And Chicago is bigger than North Dakota State so it's a no brainer!!

That should be an easy decision for them but I would kind of chuckle if the Sun Belt keeps them or if the AAC offers to fuck with the Pac12

Both of these are distinct possibilities.

Texas St is said to be most interested in PAC. There's a game of poker/bidding going on now. I think Texas St only goes MW if the money is really good, but it could be after what they offered UNLV and others to stay.

I'm not at all sure Sac St gets offered. In a way, all of their big publicity stuff around building a new stadium feels a little desperate. They wouldn't have needed that if they already had good facilities and attendance. They do check the market box, and maybe all the funds raised gets them on the radar now.
