Not to bump an old thread but its a bit relevant where this thread's direction had gone. After hiring Holgorsen away from WVU, President of Univiersity of Houston made the following remark. Maybe Fry and company should think about this again, Oo at least our athletic department should think about the ambition can't wait slogan.

"We've got to have an excellent athletics program, because that's what is an asset to the university. A mediocre program is not an asset, it's a liability. Our goal has always remained exactly the same...and that is we're building a nationally relevant program."

Even as an afterthought in the football realm as a non power 5 member, this is their view. Seems Drexel could certainly learn from them.
