CardinalJim. I feel like you do on this (except I add Fresno State before CSU).

Exactly what is the argument that Air Force should be the next school?

I get that it is a national name. But they don't draw good in person anywhere. They came to San Diego year after year with good teams and the attendance at Qualcomm was anywhere from 25,000 to 35,000. It isn't like they draw 50,000 everywhere they go.

Navy has also been to Qualcomm in San Diego a couple of times. Yes, the Poinsettia Bowl drew 50,000, but the other Navy appearance drew about 27,000, and that was in one of the biggest Navy towns in the United States.

With a serious question here for all. What is it that Air Force brings to the table that is so important?
