What does have to do with attendance?
We draw more fans with FIU and it showed during last year's game.
I rather drive 45 minutes to see FAU at FIU than driving to 2 hours to see an FCS team

Agree. And to me it goes even deeper.outofstateowl said
As a program with limited traditions, I think it is a fantastic idea to keep a well established rivalry game going. I know we have historically dominated FIU, but it is gives us something to rally around. I love the sprint to the Shula Trophy.

I'd love to see FIU and FAU continue to build their programs. Infrastructure, investment, coaching, fan base, traditions, etc.
For far too long other programs have built their programs with the talent South Florida provides. Mostly, due to FAU and FIU (though FAU has made great strides) not being competitive in the categories above.
While I'm aware a % of kids will want to go out of state (and think thats a good thing), many leave due to FAU and FIU not being seen as a competitive/viable option.
Would love to see both of these programs capture more of the S FL talent and be representative of that talent. Currently college football south of Orlando is far from good. That needs to change.
Constantly hear things about how S FL highschool talent is head and shoulders above everywhere else in the country. It's time the college football programs and the results start to reflect that.
Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.
