[QUOTE="Fighter of the Nightman, post: 1834908, member: 590800"] Yeah, the potential is absolutely there. When analyzing potential, it is difficult (but necessary IMO) to try not to weigh recent results too heavily, as fans naturally become more engaged and show up more and support the program more financially when you are winning games. One would be foolish to think of Iowa or Wisconsin as inherently more "big time" than Illinois ... they have just strung together the types of consistent winning seasons that get fans engaged and willing to show up and spend money every year - the same thing we have achieved with our basketball fan base and something that is absolutely achievable with our football fan base, as well!
