We know that all football players want to play for a winner, but do you think football records play any part in a non-athlete's decision in where to go to school? In other words, do you think football success gets a lot of people to apply to go to school at places like Appalachian State, Montana, McNeese State, Northern Iowa, and other perrinial powerhouses of the FCS? I've been told that applications to Wofford were up after the 2003 semifinalist season, and I think football might be why. Football, though not the main purpose of an institution of higher learning, is important, and winning hjelps your school and its popularity. That is my take on the subject.
