According to the Chron, we're paying Idaho State 625k for this Saturday's game. Would be cool if we could keep that money in-state, OR, bring other programs like Grambling.
+1. For a "C" game, UC Davis, Cal Poly, Sac State, SJSU would all love a shot at us, and we should give it to them. We can probably pay a nor cal team a bit less due to lower travel expense.socaliganbear said:

Yeah, that's not news. More so wondering if we should keep the money in-state and play Sac State, Cal Poly, and Davis on something of a semi rotation. Rather than bringing in Southern Utah or Idaho State. If no one is going to care about the C game, I'd try to keep within the CA schools as much as possible.touchdownbears43 said:
This is a long standing common practice for big D1 programs to pay these smaller regional programs a larger payout. Don't agree with it but yah...

Apologies, the original post here was unreasonably b*tchy. I retract and apologize! I agree we should schedule UCD and other Nor Cal Fcs teams rather than an OOS Fcs team.calumnus said:socaliganbear said:Yeah, that's not news.

Agree 100% plus Davis and Cal have historic ties and transportation costs are low (bus). There is train service, it is drivable, early in the school year and Davis students could be enticed to visit for a big UC event: most have friends at Cal.
As a Cal fundraising event, Davis profs could give a lecture on oenology with tastings....maybe a competition between wineries with Cal ties and Davis ties?
Finally, if the two staffs remain on good terms, the best Davis players can look at transferring...and Cal reserves who want playing time (and a good education) can transfer to Davis...

Playing the Bengals will help grow our profile in Idaho. Hopefully we can start to build a recruiting pipeline to that fertile region.

If not the Bay Area, Pocatello and Moscow?

I suggest we play as many power 5 out of conference games as we can. What is the winning streak now?
