CALIFORNIA POLYTECHNIC STATE MUSTANGS FOOTBALL

Big West ConferenceD1-FCSfall

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Cal Poly's football program operates from San Luis Obispo, a central California coastal community home to the university founded in 1901 with a distinctive engineering and agriculture focus. The Mustangs compete in the Big West Conference at the FCS level, fielding a 100-player roster under head coach Tim Skipper. Located roughly midway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, the program draws from one of California's most academically rigorous institutions, where the student-athlete experience prioritizes both competitive excellence and technical education.

Skipper's program represents the continuation of Cal Poly football's commitment to Big West Conference competition, where the Mustangs balance athletic development with the school's demanding coursework. The 100-member roster reflects the depth required to compete at the FCS level while maintaining academic standards associated with Cal Poly's polytechnic mission. Playing a fall schedule, the Mustangs compete in a region that includes some of college football's most geographically dispersed conferences, making their travel schedule a unique logistical component of Big West membership.
