Now with season over, we know recruiting and who stays and goes will be a story every year in new NIL era.
Things to focus on unique to Sac:
Coaching Staff: Does coach stay on board? No playoff birth, team was better, just not quite hitting expectations with all the hype. His name has been mentioned in articles for various programs.
NCAA affiliation: officially to FBS as part of conference invite for football or purgatory?
Schedule: needs games. FCS independent , other FCS conferences losing members probably available. Pac/MWC maybe looking for away games. Affiliation announcement would guide this.
Facility: Will Cal Expo plan also fizzle? Then what if so?
Off-season storylines last year got the program reenergized, going to be same challenge this year.
