Let's make sure we are as big as we think we are before we make a big mistake.
Was USU drawing 65K attendance back in the day? Comparing USU to BYU is no better than comparing BYU to ND.

So let's say worse case scenario. We have five straight losing seasons. ESPN doesn't want to pick up as many of our games. Our lack of exposure is starting to hurt recruiting. We decide we need to be back in a conference. WAC begs us to join.
