You are over-valuing it.

Big crowds can evaporate (SU football?)

Who said anything about any big time program dropping to mid-major status?

Michigan has similar weather but its a huge State school (2X the size of SU) l surrounded by hundreds of thousands of alumni who identify with UM very strongly. SU's alumni base is concentrated in Metro areas which explains why we draw so well in NYC and DC. SU home attendance depends largely on the local fans who certainly aren't all SU alums (if this board is representative). That support depends largely on continued success. I can't see a people wanting to sit in the upper reaches of the Dome to see SU lose most of its games.

Georgetown used to fill the USAir arena and is in a huge city.

I don't know anything about Kansas except that it really is in the middle of no where and it's very cold in winter.

In my mind, SU is more similar to BC than it is Kansas, (Northeastern, medium-sized, private)
