Covid really hurt D2 in my opinion. Fans couldn't go to games and they found other things to do. Attendance is way down - albeit slowly coming back. Byt, the interest has slowed in my opinion.
I also think the Portal affect D2 quite a bit. a good get suddenly starts looking to move up to D1 and fewer layers are willing to redshirt, sit on the bench, then have a smaller role before becoming a starter.
I also think Covid hurt the financial stability of many smaller colleges many which are D2 and it might take a long time for the finances to get fixed.
From my personal persective in Marshall, attendance and interest is down quite a bit. It's sad, but not sure how to fix it
