FBS Independent bound

Twitter in an uproar over some of his comments. Welcome to the world of college sports where everyone is oversensitive about their team or school. Sorry, but FCS is JV football in this scenario.

This is how I see it though. Sac State is going independent, meaning they have to market and sell their product. No business profits by being modest and staying in the background. Every business says they are the best. Dr Wood is bucking the system by going it alone and he's gotta sell the product. It's not traditional, so feathers will be ruffled.

At $100,000 from your conference media deal in one of the strongest FCS brands in the country, yes, FCS is JV football.

Imagine what the Southland media deal must pay? $50-60,000??

In todays college football universe with NIL, high HC salaries and the player portal, FCS is Double-A ball.
FCS will forever have players poached, HC turnover and shoe string budgets.
 
“Stadium will be in place by 2026”

Sounds like a completed project probably beginning after 2025 season still. That seems like a remarkably fast project for the scope of what is being suggested. I suppose the one benefit in terms of time is tear down of current hornet stadium should actually be very fast relative to a demolition of a concrete structure.

He said this morning on 1140, that the actual plans (not renderings), engineering, design, etc. by Populus are complete.

He joked that with a few people and a couple of beers they could push the stadium over at the presser in September.

How are they going to have a completely different stadium in 2026? They don’t even have BOT approval yet. He said new seats in the existing stadium, so I think this is morphing into putting lipstick on a pig.

My guess is that it changed from a dugout bowl (early conceptual renderings) to concrete footings and structural steel beams/columns that's a more common look for these size stadiums. In the interview above he touches on what is expected to be up for the '25 season.

Nothing was more annoying that trying to explain our level of football to the casual fan during our threepeat. "Who did you guys beat? Where is that school at? Why don't you guys play (enter notable FBS programs)? What's the Big Sky?" It was tiresome. FCS is JV in the eyes of the local/casual college football fan, the only folks arguing that are angry and butthurt jizz fans that wish they even had a possibility of their programming going FBS.
