I actually laughed out loud at my desk. They could start by doing that for NCAA FCS football and go from there.....

Geography is a factor, one they just have to live with. Geography has been an issue for the likes of Montana, NDSU, and other FCS schools that have pondered the move for decades.
What has he done that's crazy? I don't doubt that he is, I just haven't ever paid attention to anything sack state related
Said the FCS is just JV teams while Sac State is not even beating that man "JV teams," has made wild claims that if they go FBS they will suddenly start filling out stadiums and bring in giant revenue, and he has been aggressive at times with tweeting snarky things and deleting it. I seem to remember some press conference that was atrocious, but I don't remember the details.
I'm curious to see how much it will hurt Sacramento State to go FCS Independent. Leaving a top-2 conference in the Big Sky with a strong strength of schedule to end up filling your schedule with road FBS games and likely home games against weaker FCS programs. It probably won't turn the needle for the program. I can't imagine the Montanas and Dakotas scheduling home-and-home games with Sac State. Get beat up by FBS programs, beat up weaker FCS programs.
It's a factor, just not the main factor. The MWC could've taken Sac just as easy as they could've taken Davis.
Well for starters, he got into a Twitter fight with South Dakota's AD last night. Not to mention all the times he takes jabs at random fans on Twitter.

Why I said "is a factor".
Sacramento State's president also deleted a tweet that was directed towards South Dakota's AD
Googled him. Made it 18 words into his bio before the term "racial equity" popped up.

FCS is Division 1. It isn't "D2" FCS. Sacramento state has won exactly 1 division 1 national championship. In Rugby. Keep chest-pounding though.

Crazy that Jon could careless about Sac St since he is a NAU fan.FCS is Division 1. It isn't "D2" FCS. Sacramento state has one exactly 1 division 1 national championship. In Rugby. Keep chest-pounding though.
Correct - and the only Big Sky School to win a Full NCAA Division I (not subdivision) National Championship is in fact, NAU (6 to be exact). An FCS title is great, but it still doesn't make you a top 25 Division I football school.

Semantics and all that but there is no difference between "Full Division 1" and "sub division 1". In this case the subdivision is still Division 1.
Good for NAU for having more Division 1 national titles than UM and Sac State - NAU has done far more for the conference than Sac state....who did......checks notes.........4? playoff appearances.
Oh! AND! Gave the big sigh the "Sacramento Metro Area Viewership Market" which added.......zero dollars worth anything to the conference.
Good riddance I say. Will the Big Sky get someone better? Probably not. Will probably do the Big Sky thing and add the dunderbirds...again.
Not like the Big Sky has any choice though.

Yeah, the BSC will not get any better. However, we won't be any worse either. That makes Shaq State leaving the BSC a big nothingburger. So, none of our teams will have to play in their rat infested facilities any more. That alone is a plus.

No way.
Yeah, no way top tier BSC or MVFC play them, especially on the road. It’s a lose lose. Can’t reward the quitter. I’m actually pro move up, but this is not the way to go.
Yet we have been playing with sac, Portland state, UNC. Only one way to go.
