The PAC-MWC Dominoes Begin to Fall/Conference Realignment

Dr. Wood has done more for athletics than any other president ever at SAC, but he needs to read the room. Speak softly, and carry a big sting.

I still can't tell exactly what Wood has done for the football program and I still don't understand what "FBS or bust" means. My concern is if he isn't able to pull off the FBS move that he is putting football in jeopardy of going away like we have seen happen with so many other CSU schools.
Since there is no clear path to FBS inclusion does anyone want to explain what "bust" means?

I think you nailed it. That is my understanding of bust. Though unlikely to happen soon, but if football doesn't get a lifeline in the next realignment phase, football as an FCS independent could die on the vine. And, I don't think there is a realistic chance NCAA reverses course over the next five years and grants Sac State FBS status.

Which is why he moved the program to the Big West. With the Big Sky, a condition of membership is having football and provided a safety cushion in protecting football.

All bets are off now. Especially if he is not building a stadium on campus, another buffer of protection. Since the stadium will now be off site, temporary, it is easy to make disappear.

WTF did he leave the Big Sky until he had a football conference in hand!?

Either criminal, just plain stupid or crazy like a fox.

I think it was to show how "serious" and "willing" Sac was. Two things that are not quantifiable on their own: seriousness and willingness. Which is why a lot of people think it was a huge mistake to leave a great football conference prematurely as it obviously hasn't helped.

Everyone could still be proven wrong, of course. But man, its not looking good right now.
