So in SDSU's case building a new stadium and winning some games helped.  Similar to UCF 

True, the building of the stadium could be a factor in the interest but just so people aren't confused, none of those double digit win seasons were in that stadium. They're currently 4-4 ......... which we would kill for.

Let's also not overlook the fact that UCF was kind of forced into building one and San Diego State was tired of playing in an outdated dilapidated venue.

Yes on the other hand RJS is constently updated even recently expanded. Especially now that the Bucs are super bowl champs.

Good point and furthers my point.

A good product WITHOUT a stadium got SDSU conversations with Pac 12 (guess the coming stadium is icing).

A bad product WITH a stadium (Colorado State) stays in the minor leagues. 

Unless VPMK recognizes the need to focus on the product, we will become CSU. I don't know that he has, or will.

SDSU is in the new stadium this year so it's been a reality for a few years .... but honestly, I don't think we really know what the total criteria will be if/when more expansion comes. SDSU has had success on the field but I don't think anything near comparable to the 3 from the AAC. Bottom line, we still need to focus on both on and off the field and I'm pretty sure MK's very aware of that ...

In terms of SDSU, you forgot market and location.

 

Boise has had sustained success for the most part and their own stadium.
