Instead we'll be traveling to California for a lesser known opponent!

 

California in November? That would be like our bowl game. As good as Detroit or Boise in December.

Injecting $15m into the conference is a nice consolation for being "devalued." Not sure how much more the MAC could've been devalued anyways; the MAC has been on a "joke" trajectory for a couple decades. 

So, for roughly for a million dollars per school, you're willing to pimp us out like a Howard Street hooker selling half and halfs for twenty dollars a throw on a Monday night?

Clearly, you've never been to Sacramento.

Clearly you've been to Howard Street! 😆

 

Seriously though, this is the worst idea in a very long string of bad ideas by the MAC and its members' Presidents.

Official. Sac State joining the MAC.

Since they are football only it won't have much affect on schedules since you don't play everyone anyway. And now the MAC is really big time because just like the B1G and ACC, the reach is literally across the entire country.

No, but it's close to San Francisco and Lake Tahoe which were nice when I was there.

Not a thing on the MAC Web site about it.

I guess that the MAC Brass/ESPN saw some of the post here about joking about the 'MAC After Dark!'

 

If true, I am Totally against this move. Especially if there if it is NOT All Sports and NO Travel Partner....

 

EDIT: This is not Hawai'i in the WAC days at 11PM Eastern at home playing in the WAC 'Saturday Night Shootout!' At least they had the excuse of playing on a Island 2000 Miles off the Mainland and we(If awake) saw the Game at 11Pm Eastern....

I can’t wait for the 10:30pm kickoff on a Tuesday night on ESPN+.

This is a bad decision. Does anyone really believe Sac State wants to be in the MAC beyond a few years? The money is not worth the continued degradation of the MAC rep. We only gets teams that are desperate and we whore out to them. They then leave. Find a new commissioner, set an identity that you can build on and attract new blood that will benefit the conference, not drag it down. Think WKU, JMU, Marshall. If we were to lose OU and Miami, as the rumor has it, we are toast. Akron also has to think of its future. If the MAC goes thru major turmoil we need to make ourselves attractive to another conference. The continued improvement in football is the key.
