Well if Stanford can win, Rice can win.

Stanford’s enrollment is considerably larger but I get the point, Rice could fund a competitive program but chooses not to.

Honestly, I kind of don’t blame them—it’s not like the Houston market is suddenly going to convert to Rice fans with a few great seasons.

Maybe some of these urban academic citadels would be better served being beasts in D3 or forming a Patriot/Ivy style FCS conference.
The problem with an Ivy or D3 strategy is the distances down here. Even 'close' teams like Tulane are further away than the span of the Ivy League or typical D3 conference.

There’s a D3 conference of all AAU schools that has a giant footprint. This would be a similar idea

You're talking about the University Athletic Association. Oddly enough, the conference only sponsors football in-name-only.

Only 5 of the 8 members sponsor football, and they don't play a full round robin.
