Our recruiting hasn't changed at all even with $20M more.

I don't think ticket prices would maintain if we dropped down.

And I can't imagine that you really enjoy watching Savannah State, UMASS, SJSU, McNeese State (next year), Idaho State, Liberty, etc.

I understand getting jacked to see UCLA, Wisc, and Tennessee but when we get obliterated...the stadium hasn't even been full for those teams. NOBODY likes a loosing brand. Donors (maybe not you) and fans flock to winning organizations, regardless of the level they play on.

Tom threw a Hail Mary with Indy and I think banked on B12 expansion and inclusion. This is his ship and he may go down with it as the Captain. I certainly hope not and I certainly hope that in 2024 (of whenever realignment happens) that we are included. But the further question is, are we even going to be attractive at that point? If the current trend follows, we won't be attractive and we won't get the invite.
