Looking at athletic budgets and fan support, it’s obvious which school needs to be dropped from this conference. And it’s okay, no need to feel guilty about it, they already know it and destroyed half their stadium in anticipation.
The joke here is SJSU has no fans. They belong in a conference with UC Davis and Cal Poly. The two real Cal State football programs will soon leave them behind.
Which is precisely why the announcement of this project was delayed and delayed. They wanted to be absolutely sure the funding was solid and it was definitely happening.
Supposedly SJSU had an opportunity to get a free, brand new MLS stadium on campus before Avaya was eventually built. Those soccer lines were such a big deal, that they opted to play in a shitty half stadium instead.
