There are plenty of schools in "poor states" whose fanbases have embraced the portal and have found success with it. Why can't we? Our alumni base is probably on the poorer half of FBS alumni base wealth rankings, but it's not DFL.

We have "low" prestige sure (as I said in the post you replied to), but there are dozens of FBS schools with less prestige than us. We were the 20th best program in the country between 2009 and 2022, and most of that was without being able to bring in high quality transfers. We could be that level of program again with the right coach.
