I'm too lazy to look it up but I hypothesize that the non P5 schools that do fill the stands for the most part aren't in cities like Tampa and Orlando with a multitude of entertainment options. Just look at the Temple game Saturday. Philadelphia is a major league sports city with tons of cultural offerings and the kids don't come out.

Ya, Ruston, LA comes out for LA Tech. I'm sure smaller cities support the minor leagues, but the bigger cities aren't going to.

And they don't sell out.  Heck, that stadium may even be on campus.

Here is another good quote.

Sterlin Gilbert a year ago (reported on 11/15/17):

"I just think that everyone, except us in this building and on this field, forgets this is a new offense, okay?" Gilbert said. "It's a new offense. Things are new, things are different. ....So it (takes) time," Gilbert said. "I know people don't want to say that word, it's a bad word, it's a four-letter word, but it is what it is."

He needs to take it back to K-Mart where he found it.

If we are comparing Gilbert’s offense to retailers, his offense is 100% Aldi’s. Off brand version of the Veer & Shoot. Only works 10% of the time if you’re lucky

That has been our goal for 20+ years. No conference champ in a major sport since 1995 isn't going to get fans enthused.

I don’t think a conference championship has been our goal for 20 years since we haven’t been in a conference that long.  Also Leavitt never looked at a C-USA champ as the goal - a national rep beating good teams was the goal.  Now where are today, it seems like an AAC P6 Championship is the rage.
