When will they get a shot at playing is also high on their list. Both can offer their opins on that one. So it comes down to coaches and "playing close to home" angle. Both recruits the Miami/Dade area very hard. Kids from Miami/Dade goes to FAU and kids from Palm Beach County goes to FIU.
FAU should be up and running again next year with the returning players. Kids still want to play for Howard Schnellingberger. His legacy still can sway recruits from a lot of coaches. The man is known to produce winners. Look at Joe Pa from Penn State. His team looked awful last year and before. Recruits STILL went there anyway. Now look what happen a year later! He have some very good freshmen and sophomores on that team.
Besides I'd have to agree with fauowls44. I wouldn't want anyone who wanted to come to FAU because we won the Shula Bowl. Does that mean they're also satisfied with a 1-10 record?
There are a lot of factors which goes into a recruits decision but I wouldn't say that winning a rivalry trophy will be the deciding factor for these schools.

Seems to me we might want to at least consider going down the JUCO route for a few key positions because I have my doubts that some of the players, even with another year of experience, will produce at the 1-A level…

What I mean to say is, that students competing on the FAU/FIU level aren't looking seriously at careers within the NFL - realistically. I'm not saying that it isn't possible - but it just seems that if the talent, drive, and ability were there, they would be at a bigger school with an established program - not a commuter school with a program 5 years young. Thus, I would imagine that the players - dedicated as they are (and really, at the very least our QBs were dedicated this year, after all the hits they swallowed) - are also giving a serious look to the curriculum and programs the schools offer - not so much wether they won the Shula Bowl or not.
