Past football success is the first thing i can think of. We have 3 big ten titles, 1 playoff appearance, are 6-2 in bowl games, and had 5 seasons of at 10 wins, all in the last decade. That isn't counting the current 7-0 season and another top ten ranking. Add in the fact that every scholarship player gets a guaranteed 6K endorsement from alumni and I think you would be hard pressed to find more then a handful of schools with the same level of success in the last decade. Again I doubt cambell will leave and LSU is one of the couple of jobs that are for sure better (however the coach turnover is bad) but trying to say we are in the same category as purdue, or illinois is a joke.
