It was 2005 and my first season coaching. Fresno State was playing USC and that night I learned that the phrase ‘Anybody, Anytime, Anywhere' was real.And today, with Fresno State entering the new look Pac-12, that phrase is at the heart of my conversation with head coach Matt Entz.Welcome to today's episode of THE DAWN, a collaboration between Y-Option and the Pac-12.Matt Entz first fell for Fresno State on a Saturday night in the Midwest, a young assistant watching the late ESPN game, checkerboard end zones on the screen, Pat Hill pacing the sideline. He'd GA'd for Coach Hill's old line coach, so he had a rooting interest built in, and it stuck. Now he leads this proud program and seventeen months into the job, he calls it Midwest California, blue collar mentality echoing the small Iowa town he grew up in. It didn't take long to see the same thing in his own roster, blue collar young men who grew up dreaming about playing for the Bulldogs.That dream now comes with a new league, the re-imagined Pac 12, and Coach Entz can feel the excitement building as September closes in. There's pride in it and pressure too, elevating a program and an athletic department that's now in Pac-12.Y-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication.

The previous post covered my grades on how the strength of today’s four largest college athletic conferences compare with their previous versions twenty years ago in 2006. Here's a brief recap. In my estimation, only the SEC (which expanded from 12 to 16 teams over that 20 year period) has shown an upgrade in competition levels since 2006. I awarded the SEC a “B” grade. The Big 12 (which lost four of its prominent members to the SEC) received a C+ for their nimble addition of several relevant regional sports schools. A “D” grade was handed down to the Atlantic Coast Conference. Their nonsensical addition of West Coast newcomers Cal (Berkeley) and Stanford in 2024 crashed the ACC's overall score. Speaking of lousy grades, I awarded a D- to the Big Ten Conference as its recently-annexed properties have resulted in a BIG thud. From the east (Maryland and Rutgers) to the west (Nebraska, Oregon, UCLA, USC, and Washington), the Big Ten’s new coast-to-coast configuration has failed to improve this conference for either sports fans or student/athletes. How have the five mid-major conferences fared with recent expansion issues? These other conferences (nicknamed the “Group of Five”) can be quite entertaining but rarely win national championships. They must compete against the “Big Four” major conferences featuring the wealthiest college sports programs. American Athletic Conference (AAC) The AAC has only been around since the year 2013. There were 10 initial AAC members and now 14 in 2026. Only Memphis, South Florida, and Temple remain from 2013. The ACC raided Conference USA to obtain several of its new members. Army and Navy – What's not to like about these two additions? They bring the focus of the entire college football world to their annual game played in early December. Grades – A Charlotte – The 49ers have been perpetual cellar dwellers in most sports. Charlotte, North Carolina sports fans are more likely to follow UNC, Duke, and Clemson. Yawn. Grade – D- East Carolina – The Pirates have made the NCAA baseball playoffs ten times since 2013 and have occasionally contended for the AAC title in football. A hearty fan base makes ECU a fun place to watch sports. Grade – B Florida Atlantic – A member of the AAC since 2023, this school is best known for its men's basketball team and having a great beach nearby. Sadly, most local sports fans don’t give a hoot about the FAU Owls yet. Grade – C- North Texas – The Mean Green had a brilliant 12-2 football season in 2025 in the school's third year as part of the AAC. The other sports are lagging behind. Grade – C Rice – Another third year AAC member, the Houston-based Owls have been an athletics flop in their new conference. Grade – D Tulane – Green Wave football program has rejuvenated Tulane athletics down in the Crescent City. Unfortunately, the remainder of the school’s sports teams rarely lead the AAC. Grade – C Tulsa – Golden Hurricane football and men's basketball programs have been on the decline in the past decade. That's a shame, because Tulsa fans desperately want to get behind the city’s lone major college athletics team. Grade – C- UAB – Try as I might, I'm having trouble remembering any recent sports successes for the Blazers. Grade – D- UTSA – Like Tulsa, the Roadrunners have the entire San Antonio market ready for their athletics programs to take off. Other than some recent success in football, UTSA sports still appear to be taking a siesta. Grade – C- AAC overall grade for expansion: C- Conference USA (C-USA) I am not going to provide individual grades to Conference USA member schools. It is not their fault that C-USA management has done such a lousy job of keeping this conference together and relevant in major college sports. The conference has seen a 100% turnover in the past 20 years. Schools being added have generally been former FCS top teams such as Delaware, Sam Houston, and Jacksonville (AL) State. Things have declined so badly in Conference USA (“How badly have they declined?”) that longtime member Louisiana Tech recently agreed to pay a reported $8 million to buy its way out of C-USA. The Bulldogs’ jubilant athletic department and fans are rejoining the Sun Belt Conference this fall. Louisiana Tech will save more than $1 million annually in travel costs formerly required to travel to schools within the far-flung Conference USA. Longtime C-USA holdovers Western Kentucky and Middle Tennessee State deserve a better fate. Save your money and call the Sun Belt in a couple of years! C-USA overall grade for expansion – F- Mid-American Conference (MAC) In contrast to Conference USA, the MAC has remained remarkably stable for the past 20 years. Eleven of the dozen MAC members in 2006 remain a part of the conference today. Northern Illinois (which had been part of the MAC for 30 years) is leaving this fall to become part of the Mountain West Conference. In a couple of curious moves, the Mid-American Conference has added two new members recently. UMass – The 2025 addition of the University of Massachusetts (which is at least in regional proximity to longtime MAC member Buffalo) was rather questionable. Athletic success at Umass has been nearly invisible over the past decade. After just one year in the MAC, the Minutemen have been a net negative in sports for the Mid-American Conference. Grade: D- Sacramento State – Seriously? Yes, the Mid-American Conference will add this longtime FCS member from California to its football schedules this fall. Sacramento (the #20 TV market) is 2,500 miles from the middle of Ohio. The Hornets will be a football-only member of the Mid-American Conference. For the usually stable MAC, this is a rather bizarre expansion move. Grade: F MAC overall grade for expansion: D- Mountain West Conference (Mountain West) The Mountain West has survived a few departure tremors in recent years. Of the nine Mountain West members 20 years ago, only Air Force, New Mexico, UNLV, and Wyoming remain. Let’s review the teams which have come aboard since 2006. Hawaii – The Rainbow Warriors (2012) have posted winning football records in just four of their 14 seasons in the Mountain West. The other athletic squads are nearly invisible in the post-season tournaments. Hawaii remains a dream road trip destination for visiting teams and their fans, though. Grade: C- Nevada – At least the men’s basketball team has appeared in the NCAA March Madness event five times over the past nine seasons. Otherwise, fans of the Nevada Wolfpack (which joined the Mountain West in 2012) haven’t had much to howl about lately. Grade: C- North Dakota State – This former FCS division powerhouse football program is stepping-up to play against the big boys beginning this fall. The move is for football only. The Bison are a terrific geographic fit for the Mountain West Conference, too. This makes sense. Grade: A Northern Illinois – The Huskies will join the Mountain West this fall after 30 years in the Mid-American Conference. Northern Illinois’ sports resume has weakened in recent years. Other than bringing the #3 TV market (Chicago) to the Mountain West, this move makes little sense. Grade: D San Jose State – The Spartans (members since 2013) have appeared in four bowl games over the past decade. On the other hand, the men’s basketball team has won just 33% of its conference games over the past 13 years. Grade: C- UTEP – This longtime Conference USA member joins the Mountain West this fall. UTEP’s football team has been downright awful in recent years. Despite a sports slump, UTEP bring strong fan support from the El Paso area. They should be a fine geographic fit for the Mountain West. Grade: C Mountain West overall grade for expansion: C Sun Belt Conference (Sun Belt) The Sun Belt has been nicknamed the “Junior SEC”. This conference has grown from 10 members in 2006 to 14 today. Only Arkansas State, Louisiana-Lafayette, South Alabama, Troy, and UL-Monroe remain from 2006. Appalachian State – The Mountaineers (members since 2014) have been a top football contender in the Sun Belt. Their enthusiastic fans make road trips to Boone, North Carolina a fun stop. Grade: B Coastal Carolina – Speaking of fun stops, how about a visit to Myrtle Beach to play Coastal Carolina? The 2017 Sun Belt addition of the Chanticleers has been a terrific addition for the conference. Coastal’s football team has played in six straight bowl games. The baseball team won the men’s College World Series in 2016. Grade: A Georgia Southern – Would it surprise you to learn that the Golden Eagles from Statesboro, Georgia have played in seven bowl games over the past eight seasons? The other sports programs at Georgia Southern need to step it up. Grade: B Georgia State – The 2013 addition of the Panthers from Atlanta has not added a lot of sports notoriety. However, the men’s basketball program has earned four invitations to March Madness in the past 11 seasons. Grade: C Louisiana Tech – The Bulldogs paid dearly ($8 million) to escape Conference USA beginning this fall. Louisiana Tech brings several highly competitive sports teams. They are a perfect geographic addition to the Sun Belt Conference Western division. Grade: A Marshall – This begins Marshall’s fourth year in the Sun Belt Conference. The Thundering Herd has been a top football competitor and competes well in other major sports. Grade: B Old Dominion – ODU came into the Sun Belt in 2022. The Monarchs from Norfolk, VA posted a nifty 10-3 football record in 2025. Old Dominion has been relatively quiet in its other sports, though. Grade: C Southern Miss – The Golden Eagles (Sun Belt members since 2022) have been a dominant team in recent NCAA college baseball post-season tournaments. Last season’s 2025 football team improved from a miserable 1-11 record in 2024 to a hopeful 7-6 mark. Grade: B Sun Belt overall grade for expansion: B+ Bonus Conference! The newly revived Pac-12 Conference “states” its case in 2026 The most prominent names of the long-time Pac-12 Conference bolted for better TV money into the Big Ten and ACC in 2024. That left holdovers Oregon State and Washington State “homeless”. The Beavers and Cougars have bagged a few top teams from the Mountain West Conference to help them rebuild the Pac-12 starting this fall. Boise State is the biggest name coming to the new Pac-12. The Broncos have fielded a nationally ranked football program several times in the past few decades. Other Mountain West migrants include Colorado State, Fresno State, San Diego State, and Washington State. Texas State (formerly of the Sun Belt Conference) will also join the Pac-12 this fall. In case you didn’t notice, each of the eight new Pac-12 schools has the last name of “State”! Summary Only the Sun Belt Conference has earned a positive score (B+) from SwampSwami among the “Group of Five” mid-major conferences. The Sun Belt is the only major college athletic conference opting to maintain two divisions (East and West) to minimize travel expenses for its member schools and lessen the travel impact on their student/athletes. Bravo! The post Grading the Mid-Major Conference expansions – Part 2 appeared first on SwampSwamiSports.com.
Fresno State Media Days & PAC-12 Media Days. MAILBAG.College Football Community Saves Video Gaming World?Where is the USC Tailgate?
In this college football podcast episode, we continue our 2026 Group of Six conference previews by breaking down the resurrected Pac-12, the new-look Mountain West and a wide-open Conference USA. We start with Boise State’s move into the Pac-12 and discuss whether the Broncos are truly a College Football Playoff threat or simply the best team in their new neighborhood. From there, we examine the cases for Fresno State, San Diego State, Texas State and Washington State, along with the conference’s unusual plan to flex matchups during the final week of the regular season. The Mountain West has undergone an even more dramatic transformation, with North Dakota State making the jump to FBS and Northern Illinois and UTEP entering the league. Can NDSU immediately contend with UNLV and New Mexico? Does Hawaii have enough around Micah Alejado to make a run? And can Air Force, Wyoming or one of the conference’s rebuilding programs force its way into the race? We also venture into Conference USA, where Western Kentucky may be the preseason favorite, but Jacksonville State, Kennesaw State, Liberty and several recent FBS arrivals give us plenty of reasons to question the established order. Finally, we bolt independent UConn onto the end of the preview and explore Jason Candle’s attempt to rebuild a roster that lost nearly everything from last season.

The San Joaquin Valley's grape industry will once again take center stage this fall as the Whole Vine Festival returns to Fresno State on October 24, celebrating the region's table grape, raisin, and wine grape industries while connecting consumers with California agriculture. On today's episode of the AgNet News Hour, Whole Vine Festival Founder and Director Vickie Goudreau shared how the event has grown into a celebration of both agriculture and Valley pride. Now entering its fourth year, the festival was created to showcase one of the San Joaquin Valley's defining industries while helping consumers better understand where their food comes from. Goudreau said the event also serves as a reminder that the Valley is home to one of the world's most productive agricultural regions. "We want to celebrate what's beautiful about our region," Goudreau said. "Agriculture has built the San Joaquin Valley, and we want people to be proud of that." The festival highlights the Valley's unique distinction as the only region in the United States that produces table grapes, raisins, and wine grapes in the same area. Throughout the day, visitors can meet growers, wineries, agricultural organizations, and businesses while learning more about the region's diverse grape industry. One of Goudreau's primary goals is introducing children and families to agriculture through hands-on educational activities. The festival's Kids Zone includes planting demonstrations, pollinator education, gardening activities, and opportunities for children to learn about healthy food choices in an interactive environment. She also hopes to involve more FFA, 4-H, and Young Farmers & Ranchers members in future festivals, saying older students can have a powerful influence by teaching younger children about agriculture. Beyond agriculture, the event showcases local culture with live music, food trucks, artisan vendors, and culinary competitions featuring California grapes. This year's festival will include a charcuterie competition, grape-inspired menu items from local food trucks, and wine and beer gardens highlighting regional products. Goudreau also believes the festival helps bridge the growing disconnect between urban residents and agriculture. As more people move into California's Central Valley without farming backgrounds, she hopes events like Whole Vine create a better understanding of the technology, innovation, and people behind the region's food production. "We need to connect our local community with the reality of how amazing our agricultural industry really is," she said. The Whole Vine Festival will be held Saturday, October 24, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Fresno State. Admission, parking, and children's activities are all free. Additional information, sponsorship opportunities, and event details are available at thewholevine.com. Listen to the full interview below or on your favorite podcast app.

Let's talk Fresno State football and World Cup!
Former Alabama national championship quarterback Jake Coker joins Mick Gillispie for another episode of Last Call, featuring a wide-ranging discussion about Alabama football, the transfer portal, conference realignment, the College Football Playoff, NIL and the changing structure of college athletics. Jake and Mick break down the rebuilt Pac-12 and attempt to name the schools joining the new-look conference, including Oregon State, Washington State, Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, San Diego State, Utah State, Texas State and Gonzaga. Can the relaunched Pac-12 become a legitimate college football conference after losing programs such as USC, UCLA, Oregon and Washington? The conversation then turns to Notre Dame's special position in the College Football Playoff. Should the Fighting Irish receive a guaranteed CFP bid for finishing inside the top 12 despite not competing in a conference championship game? Jake and Mick debate whether Notre Dame's independence gives the program an unfair advantage over teams from the SEC, Big Ten, ACC and Big 12. Jake also explains why Alabama's recruiting strategy may increasingly focus on experienced players from the transfer portal, Group of Five programs and the FCS. Are proven veterans with toughness, fundamentals and college experience more valuable than highly rated high school prospects? The guys discuss how NIL and revenue sharing could turn smaller programs into a “farm league” for college football's biggest brands. Plus, Jake shares his Independence Day plans at “the camp,” Mick prepares to watch fireworks at the ballpark, and the guys discuss the massive “flood mosquitoes” invading the Birmingham and Tuscaloosa areas. They also preview the 76th annual Choctaw Indian Fair in Philadelphia, Mississippi, featuring traditional stickball, concerts, cultural events and more. Let us know in the comments: Should Notre Dame receive an automatic College Football Playoff bid for finishing in the top 12? Is Alabama smart to prioritize experienced transfer portal players? Can the new Pac-12 become nationally relevant again?

Recent Graduates Reflect on How AI Is Reshaping Their Future Over the past few weeks, several college commencement speakers who praised artificial intelligence were booed by graduates. As these graduates enter an uncertain job market, they're grappling not only with an unpredictable economy but also with the feeling that artificial intelligence is unstoppable. AI can impact whether or not you get your resume in front of a hiring manager or what career you decide to pursue. We hear from some recent California graduates and other students who talk about not whether AI will impact them, but how. As California's Wine Industry Struggles, Some Lodi Grape Growers Pivot to New Crops California produces 80% of all American wines. But most wine grapes aren't grown in places like Napa or Paso Robles. Most of them actually come from vineyards around one small city in San Joaquin County, Lodi. No matter where you are in Lodi, you're always less than a 10-minute drive from a vineyard, but it's no longer just the land of grapes. Orchards full of pistachios, almonds and olives are popping up all over the outskirts of Lodi. As Hannah Weaver reports, that's because new challenges in the wine industry are pushing grape growers to try other crops. For This Quartet of Fresno State Musicians, a Chance to Play in South Korea Every summer, a prestigious international music festival highlights an instrument that may not always take center stage: the clarinet.

Garrett Klassy has been the AD at Fresno State for almost 2 years and is leading the Bulldogs into the Pac-12 this summer. Expect to hear a lot in this interview, beginning with the evolving profile of the FBS AD position. I asked Garrett if he thinks FBS ADs will always be the key decision-maker for head coaching hires throughout the department or if that will maybe fall off to a deputy AD in the future as the job becomes less day-to-day involvement and more of a big picture role. Klassy is also one of several former ADs that left the chair for a P4 deputy AD job that eventually launched him back into the AD chair at a different level. Has this trend become the norm? He then talks about the relaunch of the Pac-12 and why it makes sense for Fresno State. The conversation ends with some advice for those that may feel like they came up in one area of college athletics and feel typecasted and want to still progress towards the AD job. 0:00 Introduction1:27 Why Garrett Klassy thinks he was the right person at Fresno State two years ago10:14 Will ADs always be the decision-maker on head coaching hires?17:00 ADs becoming Deputies to launch into new AD chair position20:15 Relaunch of the Pac-12 discussion26:55 Pivoting after feeling typecasted to progress towards AD chairAD Vantage empowers athletic directors with comprehensive staff data, performance analytics, and AI-powered candidate insights to make smarter hiring, compensation, and retention decisions in an era where every dollar counts.

Clovis West High School was placed on lockdown after a suspicious phone call, prompting a response from law enforcement. Students and staff were kept inside classrooms while police investigated, and a nearby elementary school was also put on safety protocols before the situation was cleared and the campus deemed safe. After several hours, the initial search was called off amid reports the cub may have returned to its habitat. However, another sighting was reported a few hours later about a mile away near Spruce and Marks, prompting wildlife officials to resume their search. A massive cyberattack on the Canvas online learning system is affecting colleges across Central California, including Fresno State, UC Merced, and College of the Sequoias. The hack disrupted access to assignments and coursework, and officials say the incident may involve unauthorized access to student data, as schools work to restore systems and assess the impact.

The 2026 NFL Draft closed on Saturday, and the Detroit Lions Podcast zeroed in on how Detroit finished. Day Three lacked its usual spark. Too many late picks around the NFL look unlikely to stick. That reality shaped a sharp read on what the Detroit Lions did and why. Jimmy Roeder at 118: Box thumper with work to do Detroit opened Day Three with Michigan Wolverines linebacker Jimmy Roeder at No. 118. Jeff Risdon had him at No. 177 on his board but backed the fit. He watched Roeder live three times, including mop-up duty in the 2024 Fresno State game. The traits showed up. Roeder thrives in the box. He stacks, strafes, and drives downhill at the run. He does not shed consistently, but he sorts traffic and finds the ball. He is a fantastic form tackler. He can close on screens, blow up a bubble screen, and reach the sideline if the edge is not sealed. The flags are clear. Coverage is the biggest one. He does not always trust his eyes. He started only one year at Michigan and played a lot of vanilla zone. There is upside, but he must get off blocks better. When the defensive line wins up front, Roeder pops. When it does not, he can fade. That mirrors how Jack Campbell looks better when DJ Reader, Ty Lake Williams, and Alene McNeil are rolling. Roeder walks in as direct competition and insurance for Malcolm Rodriguez, who returned on a one-year deal. He brings special teams experience. The value was a touch early, but the role makes sense in Detroit. Derek Moore at 44: Why Detroit moved Detroit traded up to 44 for Derek Moore on Friday night. The front office believed Baltimore would take him at 45. The Jesse Minter connection made that a plausible fear. That was their guy. They went and got him. The message was simple. Be aggressive. Do not sweat trade value charts. If you land the player, the move is worth it. Moore projects as a win. Keith Abney at 157: Undersized corner, heavyweight hits Arizona State defensive back Keith Abney at No. 157 was the favorite pick of the day. He reminds you of Amik Robertson. He is an undersized outside corner who hits like a safety and tackles like a safety. The question now is where the Detroit Lions envision him. Outside, inside, or a hybrid path will define his rookie impact. The tools and temperament are there. Day Three did not deliver the usual thrill. The class across the league looks thin. Still, Detroit found specific roles and leaned into identity. That is how you survive the NFL marathon. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #202nfldraft #lionspicks #jimmyrolder #keithabney #skylergill-howard #tyrewest Learn more about your ad choices.

Last month Fresno State University held a celebration for César Chávez with baile folklórico dances, speeches and flowers placed on his statue in the campus peace garden. Just a few days later, a bombshell New York Times investigation was published, exposing evidence that Chávez sexually abused women and girls as young as 12. Within hours, Fresno State covered the statue of Chávez with black plastic and days later removed it entirely. Other colleges and schools in California made similar changes. As colleges and schools remove Chavez's name from buildings and holidays, some educators are raising deeper questions about how schools can confront underlying issues of power, sexism, sexual violence and historical legacy.

The AgNet News Hour continued its coverage of the California governor's race, breaking down key moments from last week's Fresno State debate where candidates laid out sharply different visions for the future of agriculture, energy, and water policy. With farmers and ag leaders in attendance, the debate made one thing clear, there is little agreement on how to fix rising costs and ongoing challenges facing California agriculture. Energy costs emerged as a major concern, with candidates offering competing solutions. Some pushed for expanded domestic oil and gas production and reducing regulations, while others emphasized continued investment in renewable energy and infrastructure. “We will use California natural gas to generate electricity… to cut your electric bills in half,” Steve Hilton said, pointing to underutilized energy capacity in the state. Others argued for a longer-term transition toward renewable energy, focusing on expanding solar, battery storage, and grid infrastructure. However, the divide highlighted a broader debate over affordability versus long-term sustainability. Food prices were another major topic, with candidates acknowledging that rising input costs, especially energy and regulation, are driving higher grocery bills for consumers. “The regulatory environment in California is choking off our agricultural community,” one candidate said. “It's not one regulation, it's layer after layer.” Several candidates pointed to the increasing cost of compliance, with estimates showing regulatory costs for farms rising dramatically over the past two decades. Others emphasized the need to balance regulation with worker safety and environmental protections, while still allowing farms to remain profitable. Water policy also took center stage, with nearly all candidates agreeing that California must improve storage, delivery, and long-term planning. However, how to achieve that goal remains a point of contention. “We have enough water in California—it's making the best use of it,” one candidate said, emphasizing the need for better infrastructure and management. Others called for more aggressive action, including building new reservoirs, increasing water deliveries, and cutting regulatory barriers that limit water access for agriculture. “We need to give you 100 percent of the water to operate your farms,” another candidate said, stressing the urgency of addressing supply shortages. Beyond policy specifics, the debate underscored a broader frustration within the agricultural community. Many candidates acknowledged that farmers are already innovating and adapting, but continue to face mounting pressure from costs, regulations, and uncertainty. Ultimately, the discussion reflected a pivotal moment for California agriculture as voters prepare to choose leadership that will shape the future of farming, water, and food production in the state.
Today's AgNet News Hour spotlighted a major moment for California agriculture as industry leaders and political candidates gathered at Fresno State for a gubernatorial debate focused heavily on farming, water, and regulatory challenges facing the state. Fresno County Farm Bureau CEO Ryan Jacobson and California Farm Bureau President Shannon Douglass both emphasized the importance of agriculture being front and center in the conversation as California heads toward a critical election year. Jacobson noted that while candidates came prepared with more detailed responses than expected, the state's agricultural challenges remain urgent. “I think most of us could probably agree that we've been in crisis mode now for potentially a decade or two,” he said. A key theme throughout the discussion was regulation. While acknowledging that some level of oversight is necessary to maintain food safety, Jacobson warned that excessive regulation continues to burden farmers and rural communities. “Regulation makes our food some of the safest in the world,” he said. “But overregulation… has turned into a hodgepodge of a mess that hurts our farmers and communities.” Candidates also addressed water availability, one of the most pressing issues in the Central Valley. Despite some increases in allocation, Jacobson described current levels as insufficient for long-term stability. “Water allocations at 20 percent… are pretty dismal,” he said. “We were hoping for much higher in a year like this.” Douglass echoed those concerns, describing the current environment as one of significant strain for producers across the state. “We're at a very scary time in California farming,” she said. “Our members are facing tremendous frustration and challenges.” Both leaders stressed that the next governor will play a critical role in shaping the future of agriculture—not only through policy decisions, but through key appointments and leadership direction. “Those appointments have a lot of direction to where the state's headed,” Jacobson explained. “It doesn't boil down to one person—it's the team behind them.” Douglass added that a governor willing to take a closer look at legislation and push back when necessary could make a meaningful difference. “We don't necessarily need more bills,” she said. “For our industry, most of those bills are typically an attack.” Another major takeaway from the event was the growing recognition among candidates of agriculture's importance to California's economy. Douglass noted that it was encouraging to see candidates more informed on key issues like the Delta and regulatory burdens than in past election cycles. “I was really pleased to see more candidates digging into these ag issues,” she said. Looking ahead, both leaders encouraged farmers and industry members to stay engaged and involved, particularly as policy decisions continue to impact day-to-day operations. “This is a changing, dynamic situation,” Jacobson said. “Get involved… because who gets in office makes a big difference.” Listen to the full interview below or on your favorite podcast app.

In a special Contacts Coaching podcast episode, Stevenson alumna Danielle Koval—Director of Compliance for Financial Aid and revenue sharing at the University of Oklahoma—shares her path from being a swimmer and water polo player at Stevenson to swimming at Fresno State, working in student-athlete academic services, moving to UNLV, and then joining OU after taking a financial aid role just before COVID. She compares working environments across Fresno State, UNLV, and a Power Four brand like Oklahoma, emphasizing the scale of budgets, the weight of a global brand, and the constant pace of compliance changes driven by lawsuits and reactive policy shifts. The conversation explains how college athletics finances work, why most sports operate at a loss, and how football revenue and attendance underwrite broader departmental resources. Koval details how athletic scholarships and financial aid function across headcount and equivalency sports, why FAFSA and campus/college-level scholarships matter, and how tuition waivers and programs like the Western Undergraduate Exchange reduce costs. She breaks down the shift from NCAA scholarship limits to roster caps under the new landscape, including how schools decide whether to fully fund expanded rosters and how new scholarships can count against the revenue-sharing cap. The episode also covers OU's revenue-sharing approach (six sports), Title IX defensibility pressures, preferred walk-on dynamics under roster caps, the increased role of agents in everyday issues, and how contracts are renegotiated annually amid early signing day and the transfer portal. Koval discusses the challenges of paying athletes while preparing them for life after sports, including OU's financial literacy programming, and closes with a personal reflection on changing her mindset from perfectionism to giving herself grace as circumstances shift.00:00 Welcome & Meet Danielle Koval (OU Compliance + Financial Aid/Rev Share)00:33 Danielle's Athlete-to-Administrator Journey: Fresno State → UNLV → Oklahoma05:31 Leveling Up: What Changes from Mid-Major to Power Program?08:34 The OU Brand & Culture of Excellence Across Sports11:23 Money Talks: Football Revenue, Facilities, and Funding Other Sports12:51 Is College Athletics Sustainable?
