Message: [QUOTE="Chip, post: 779397, member: 19"] It's always going to depend on the kid. Some want to play (or potentially warm the bench) in front of 80,000 fans and be on national TV every single game. Risk/reward, because everyone you're competing with had the same high school success you did (if not more). Some want to play right away, and will sacrifice the big stadium, national TV experience, to still be in a BCS league. Those empty seats really do hurt SU though. It's one thing to say you'll play in front of 50,000 instead of 80,000. It's entirely different to say you'll play in front of 35-40,000 and 10-15000 empty seats, instead of 80,000. If the new IPF is going to level the playing field on facilities, then attendance will be our unanimous #1 roadblock. Then there's the group who don't have the 80,000/national TV option. We just need to continue to find guys like Bromley in that group, or make sure we find guys we can develop into contributing starters. [/QUOTE]
