To reply to why would anyone start attending Sac st game and start following a program.
When you start putting money into a program and start promoting it. It will draw more people.
Why did the griz rise up in the late 80s and become a power in fcs? IMO it was because we built a new stadium, hired a new coach who put a fun team to watch on the field and university promoted the shit out of the griz.
If they do the same in sac and be competitive in the g5. They will to better off in the future.
This is the teams that moved up and I bet none of them would ever want to be in fcs again.
James Madison, liberty, Texas st, coastal Carolina, app st, southern Georgia, western Kentucky, UMass, Utsa, Georgia st, old dominion, Charlotte and now missouri st and Delaware st.
Not saying all of them are winning constantly, but I bet 90% are selling more tickets, have larger enrollment, have more national relevance and are a lot better teams then when they left the fcs. A lot of these teams hardly made the playoffs constantly and we're not dominating the fcs besides app st and James Madison
