Actually, you're missing the real point of the discussion (i.e.; what's it going to take for the California Big West schools to develop long-term fan and $$$ support?).

I agree, the competition for entertainment dollars in California is far greater than in Logan Utah. That is the problem; despite all the media market garbage, USU is clearly the stronger draw and creates more real long-term interest. However, instead of using the other entertainment "excuse", what are the California Big West schools going to do to build up real alumni support, instead of student fads.

Again, USU does as was shown when we bought out Dave Arslanian's FB contract after only 2 years.
