It's in a decent television market and it's only professional sports competition is the NBA. The Cal St system is much easier to get into than the UC system so you would think they would have a broader appeal to Northern California audiences. The stadium isn't a terrible size.why has there never been a push to join fellow Cal St programs San Jose St, Fresno St, and San Diego St in FBS.

anyone on the west coast have some insights? Is it all budget related?

Sacramento likes to think of its self as a major city on par with other major cities in the state. Major league is P5 or at least FBS. Neither Sac State or Davis as FCS get much pub. That fact is true for college sports in general. Lots of coverage on high school sports and pro sports on the TV and papers but little on college sports. It's as if college sports don't exist here.
