We are never getting people who graduated from 90-2015 back into Ford without being a Top 25 program. Even then I doubt we ever average 20K.
I happen to agree with this statement. Which makes the IPF investment all the more dicey.
FTR, I told Turner when Ford was under construction that he was building at 32k seat mausoleum (due do existing 'Model'). He said I was misguided.

For gods sakes man, even UAB couldn't get rid of their program and they TRIED. The costs are under control, we've shown we can win 7 games with a HC sleep waking through the job, and basketball has shown we can win in a major sport. Football will be here for the next fifty years and I'll bet you any amount you want on it.
