How many are "trying"...?
Gazoo's points are well made. (By the way, between 100 and 125 have attendance over 5000.)
But, of the 73 BCS schools I'll bet all are really trying. There is not a single BCS school that is satisfied being 9th, 10th, 11th...in its league. Yet, UD's program is substantially better than that of quite a few BCS schools.
Creighton presents a good comparison case; it's attendance is significantly higher than UD's. Creighton is "trying", of that you can be sure.
Nonetheless, I will accept gazoo's basic point that we are not competing against all of Div 1. But, I think the number we are competing against is larger than 25-30....I think 50 would be more like it.
Whatever, it ain't easy;...that is my main point.
