"I think it's good long-term, but right now, I am a little bit frustrated," said junior at Sac State, Elias Baeder.
"I get texts about football games and buy your tickets and come to the tailgate and things like that," said Baeder. "I'm not seeing a lot of push for other things."
"The more money that athletics brings in, the more money you can put toward academics and other things," said Cooper Love, who runs cross-country at Sac State.
"I think athletics and recreation and physical activity is part of the co-curricular experience at any university," said Orr.
It is no secret that Sac State has been making big moves in athletics. CBS13 sat down with Sac State President Dr. Luke Wood in February when the university was making a $5 million bid for the highest level of college football: the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS).
Football was denied entry into the FBS for 2026, but since then, Sac State has announced construction on a $172 million football stadium at Cal Expo.
There have also been some questionable costs, like the post-football game performances and Lil Yachty's infamous 10-minute show because of bad behavior in the crowd.
Some student athletes said they are students first and the money has always been poured into sports.
President Wood was unavailable to speak with CBS 13 on Monday about the topic.
Sac State tuition is set to go up 6% annually for the next five years and freshmen will be required to live on campus starting in the fall of 2026.
As costs for things go up, not every Hornet is feeling Stingers up.
