Dayton itself may not help but Fordham isn't out recruiting UD because they're in NYC

Building off what you're saying on fanbase size, if you're in a bigger market like St. Louis and you're drawing 6-7,000 people a game you're irrelevant in delivering the market.

I spent a fair amount of time in Omaha. The city is very similar to Dayton. In terms of recruiting, Omoaha as a city would be similar to Dayton. Their fan base is similar in terms of filling their arena. The NBE has really helped them. The difference is the conference.
