For football recruits until we have the approval to actually build the IPF at this point our crown jewel is the Yordon Center. The back to back 11 win seasons, division championships and bowl victories don't mean as much as how big the stage is.

The only thing that we have control over is our OOC and we need to big as possible. I believe that our desire of getting to a BCS game, with the deliberate planning of a moderate OOC schedule, is impacting the quality of players in recruiting.

Just removing our typical FCS opponent for a 1-1 with a non-AQ FBS opponent in the South (Florida, Alabama, Texas, Louisiana or Arkansas) would greatly help our recruiting in the region.

Too many excuses.

Many on here said we would get better recruits when we built the Yordon Center. Yet five years later we are still getting the same recruits. Why should i believe having an IPF is supposed to get us those players when 11-win seasons, multiple division titles, bowl games, etc. haven't?
