~316 of 341 have less per-game home attendance than UD. I would say 200 have less than 5,000 in home attendance (someone can check me on this, I'm sure it's out there), and the commensurate commitment from their fans, alumni, and administration.
So, 341 schools aren't striving for this. I'd day more like 90-100 are. If 73 are BCS schools, I'd say 65 are really trying, and we're in competition with 25-35 other schools.
Memphis,
_avier, and Gonzaga have arrived. There are a few on the doorstep, maybe a Butler, Creighton, GMU, a few others.
So we're really in competition with about 25-30 schools IMO. That's a much different concept than being in competition with all of D1.
