Will the Fans Ever Really Come Back? I love the enthusiasm, but if we beat NAU and EWU, we're not thinking FBS, we're thinking playoffs. In I-AA. Dunning is smart, and this idea has been in his head for awhile. Big Oregon guy.
Zythe, attempting such a move involves 2 big issues.
1. Big stadium expansion and Athletic Training Facility. There are seating minimums required, attendance etc. ... $50 Million? $70 Million? BD was asked about this a few years back. He doesn't have to raise it.
2. TV. There are big dollars at play depending on affiliation. There have also been rumblings about college football / college sports dividing up again, maybe 3 tiers in DI football, conferences shuffling, etc. Complicated. There may be a time where we are forced to make a decision.
