You're putting them on the wrong playing field for some reason. They're not on center stage and aren't trying to be, and they shouldn't.

A program someone on either coast who loves the sport would consider interesting to talk about for positive reasons.

This is like 20 programs in a given year, none who are in the AAC.

Surely you don't argue going to a bowl means relevance.

Your definition of relevance is unobtainable by most football programs.

The lesser bowls often cost their schools more to attend than they generate in revenue.

The bigger ones usually do too.

A 20K stadium is just a waste of space and donor money that won't do anything more than obligate them to throw more good money after bad in the future. They should completely change course and move to a lower division, stop pretending they are more like LSU than Williams and readjust their approach to their athletics.


They aren't competing with SMU not LSU, that's why they built a similar stadium.

EXACTLY! Why so many schools waste millions at this point in the game is beyond me. I understand there are often factors like history but some schools like Yale and Princeton had far greater histories years ago and still recognized where their priorities lay and where an appropriate amount of investment would be exceeded.
