Pelini believes the “lull in the program” was the result of delays in delivering on the vision of Florida Atlantic football. Schnellenberger talked from the outset about playing in a sparkling on-campus stadium, but that didn’t happen for almost a decade.
“There was a lot of early excitement about Florida Atlantic football and Howard fielded some very good teams, but there were a lot of promises made that didn’t come to fruition for a while and I think the story got old,” Pelini said. “There have been some very tangible steps forward in recent years, and we all know the potential of a program once a university makes a real tangible commitment.”

It is great to dream big, but unfulfilled promises really hurt this program in terms of recruiting and building a fan base.
That said, the excuses are only good for so long. We now have a stadium and it is time to get recruiting and fan support up to speed.

Hind sight is 20/20 isn't it? Innovation village/stadium is built and enrollment applications go way up. Now everyone is on board and everyone thinks it is a great idea.
