To be fair a lot of FCS playoff games are poorly attended as well, exception for Dak/Mont home games. If SU makes a bowl game you can bet it will be quite well attended by Bison fans.
Didn't they play one of the SEC teams in a major bowl not that many years back? IIRC they, NIU, had a really good dual threat QB. Edit, his name was Jordan Lynch.
Have to agree with Siouxperman here. Optimism is a good thing but I would say a transfer players chances for NFL are as good, or better at a bigger school. There is some relevance in past performance as compared to optimism for the future. Guess we'll see.
Went back and looked. Article says here are salaries as of November 21, so before any playoff bonuses. Article compared the 2 schools salaries. Exact amounts listed were. Noah Pauley $81,029. Sam King $44,948.
