Georgia State had 30,000 at their first game. 2nd most all time for a first year program behind South Florida. Doubt KSU gets that.
GSU also has a big budget for a start up program with big money donors pumping the program, the alumni base in the area is over 150,000. KSU will struggle to find the money, that's why they are having to wait 4 years to even start it up, while GSU had it done in 2.
KSU also needs a conference, because the Atlantic Sun they are currently in does not sponsor football.
