Ummm A & M had once made the jump to FBS in 2004, not likely to move up now but they have been there before.

The PAC/MWC Dominoes Begin to Fall

- Start date
CSU Presidents can just do things. There's a reason Dr. Wood went through the alternative consultation process to get the student fees increased. Fulleton's President could have done the same thing if she/he really wanted to reinstate football. It all goes back to leadership and how much fortitude they have towards implementing their agenda.
Per the Knight database, the median FCS football budget was $5.2M in 2024. At 42k students, Fullerton could implement a fee increase of $62 per semester to cover the cost of a median FCS football budget. Round it up to $85 to cover matching Title IX scholarships/sports costs for an annual increase of $7.1M.
Long Beach has a 41k enrollment. Northridge has almost a 38k enrollment. Compare that to Sac State that is at 31k enrollment who has maintained a football program this entire time. Never let the "it's too expensive for FB in CA" narratives to get run, it's all on weak and pathetic leadership as to why those SoCal CSU's and UC's don't have football.

Wow.. previously FBS.. that's cool. Just so you know.. the Big West Conference.. the one you guys just joined for most sports formerly had the Northern Illinois Huskies, Arkansas State and Louisiana Tech. in it playing football... Now it doesn't have football anymore.
Who gives a carp if a conference previously was FBS.. they 'aint no mo'!
The Great West Conference.. now That was a great Conference.. Cal Poly.. North Dakota State, South Dakota State.. UC Davis.. (SUU, Northern Colorado) That was a great Conference.

"Who gives a carp if a conference was previously FBS?"
The NCAA does, on a technicality

Making history. We have the best attorney in Kessler. A huge anti compete payday would be incredible.

Maybe Sacramento State can collectively get caught one of those videos where somebody cuts you off, and then slams on the breaks to collect insurance money. Use that windfall to sue the NCAA because they won't let you be FBS, and the turn the rest into a stablecoin, or Bitcoin.

I love that we have CP haters, now. Programs in exact opposite trajectories since the Ellerson days. Love it, bring on the BW rivalries!

Honestly, being a Cal Poly fan is really really hard these days.
There's some really weird decisions being made at the top- uniform colors, weird coach hires and extensions... this football season is going to be make or break for Wulff (cool name, but not a huge fan of him being hired)..
I don't think your new coach hire was very good either, resume is lacking.. good luck to you guys this year though.
Last thing- A "stinger up" seems like a hornet that is dead on its back kind of curled up.. or am I overthinking this?
Seems like a stinger pointed downward would be ideal stinger direction right?

No one cares about your comments or questions. Just get off here. Also, you don’t even understand your own questions. When hornet is flying, its stinger is up, up and flying above Cal Poly’s shitty program.
'We had no choice': Why Delaware felt the pressure to finally jump to FBS
As one of two new programs to make the jump to FBS, Delaware is ready to prove itself at a higher level.
Worth a read. Highlights many of the reasons why Sac State wants to pursue FBS, and the window is closing.

That's kind of rude man..
I am checking here, and a hornet in flight also has its stinger down.. the only time a stinger is up is when it is dead on its back, and I'm sticking to it.
Also.. didn't our shitty program beat you guys last year?
Maybe stingers out would be a better slogan?

my only response to this nonsense is the sac st hornets are 4-1 vs cal poly last five years. When was the last year cal poly was in the FCS playoffs? Probably around 10 years. Things can change but that pretty shitty which why I said that. let’s see what happens this season?!
