But we weren't debating what Georgia State will actually do, we were discussing the line of thinking "you can build a winner in a market, you can't build a market around a winner."

Given that rationale, I said that "best case scenario, if Georgia State were to go on a Boise like run, they'd put a minimum of 45,000 fans a game in that stadium".

Again, this is about the line of thinking, it's purely hypothetical, it has nothing to do with what Georgia State will actually be doing on the field.

I even said that I'm not sure it's the right line of thinking, simply that it's a common one.

Fine. The Boise reference doesnt make sense. Boise had a very successful FCS program before they jumped. App played them in the FCS playoffs.

Is there another program built on a media market you'd like to reference?

Let me add "successful" to that, because nobody really cares if they arent "successful."

And Boise St would more resemble App St than anything. Even in attendance.
