Brewster's Hype and FIU
My question is how long can FIU stay a "Bowl Division" school? Florida, FSU, USF, UCF, Miami, FAU and FIU are all there now and the last three are fighting for the same market. None of the three are drawing big crowds, including Miami. I realize there is a lot of talent in Florida but I can't help seeing FIU and FAU and thinking CART/IRL in that if one of them doesn't go down they both might suffer. It looks like FAU has a much stronger program and may or may not have a stadium on the way so they look like the favorite to make it. Unless there is some strong alumni money backing it, how long can FIU hang onto their program?

Re: Brewster's Hype and FIU
As an FAU fan I think the biggest concern has to be FAU getting a stadium on campus by no later than 2011. Still, it is important to make it very clear that both FAU and FIU are in this for the long haul and I don't envision either team moving down. There are plenty of other teams across the country that have had football for 50 or more years and are really no better off in terms of attendance than FAU or FIU. I really see FAU and FIU following in the footsteps of USF and UCF over the next decade.

I think they understand, they can't take any game for granted.
