Todays kids are front runners when it comes to sports. Only the teams that have a chance to win the "big one" are of any interest to them. And when I say "the big one" I'm not talking about the MAC championship or some second tier bowl game. The MAC basketball tournament does OK because the winner does get a chance to compete in "the big one", March Madness. No MAC football program is ever going to compete for a national championship. We need to accept the fact that 15,000 attendance avg is a realistic barometer of what we are capable of achieving at best.
