Why aren't these so cal teams better?
Geographical area can’t overcome the schools perception. Those are all mid major teams. Comparing them to SEC teams or ACC teams doesn’t seem like a fair comparison. They don’t really compete with those conferences in many sports.Long Beach 4-21

You didn't even include Fresno, Fullerton, Cal Poly and Cal Baptist. They're all pretty bad too. There might be a big pool of talent in SoCal but clearly it's not very deep. Once the power five schools and top tier mid majors skim off the top, you've got about 10 schools in the region recruiting the same "skill level" athlete to fill their roster. And if by chance that athlete achieves some success, straight to the portal they go. Not to mention, the facilities at all those school are pretty poor.Long Beach 4-21

Add~ Cal State colleges do not have the money to recruit out of state players. Which obviously doesn't limit them from in-state players. But the opportunity players have to go elsewhere and get a fancier campus program is reality.You didn't even include Fresno, Fullerton, Cal Poly and Cal Baptist. They're all pretty bad too.

Agree. Also aesthetically speaking of campuses there are a lot of other colleges that have much better curb appeal.Not to mention, the facilities at all those school are pretty poor.
