These guys get it.
Some may say my expectations are too high. I say their expectations are too low. Who’s ok with being mediocre and staying there? “Oh but we’re just NIU” they say......Meh.
Having expectations is fine. But tell me what they are based in? I've asked this over and over - WHY should NIU be a great G5? Looking for concrete, solid football reasons please. Recruiting potential, Campus, budget, Dekalb, ...something like that to explain why NIU should be better than Toledo or UCF or San Diego State.
Anyone...answer that please.
Why should NIU be a great G5?
Superior Fans of course

I finally settled on what I determine minimum success to be.
At least...
1 conference title
1 bowl win
1 P5 win
Per graduating class at NIU. With at least 2 in one of the categories.
To date....NIU’s senior class does not have a conference title or bowl win.
