In this week's Akem's Analysis, I talk about some of the biggest games that happened in FCS football this weekend. To start, we look at the big-time win that Sacramento State had at home against the Northern Colorado Bears. Both teams were 3-3 going into the game, and the winner now has a chance to become a playoff team with the right luck. We also look at 2 games in the MVFC, UND vs SIU, and Illinois State vs YSU. Both games had big performances, but none bigger than Beau Brundgard, who is looking like a serious Walter Payton candidate. He absolutely put the team on his back.

This week on The Mark Haney Show, I sat down with Dr. Luke Wood, President of Sacramento State, and I'll tell you — this conversation will change how you think about higher education. Dr. Wood isn't just running a university. He's rebuilding what college looks like. Under his leadership, Sac State has launched the nation's first Black Honors College, introduced a bachelor's degree in Business Administration with a concentration in AI and Business Management, and created Combat U, a one-of-a-kind collegiate pathway into boxing and mixed martial arts in partnership with UFC legend Urijah Faber. We also talked about entrepreneurship, the future of career opportunities, and how the Carlsen Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship is helping students turn ideas into businesses that fuel Sacramento's economy. And of course, we covered the big energy around sports — from the push toward FBS football at Cal Expo to a men's basketball team now coached by NBA star Mike Bibby (and featuring Shaq's son on the roster). Dr. Wood's philosophy is simple but powerful: “Bite down on the mouthpiece and go.” That mindset is transforming Sacramento State — and inspiring a new generation of leaders, innovators, and doers. ______________________________________________________________ If this episode inspires you to be part of the movement, and you believe, like me, that entrepreneurs are the answer to our future, message me so we can join forces to support building truly great companies in our region. - Subscribe to my channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCom_... - Mark Haney is a serial entrepreneur that has experience growing companies worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
