This isn't political and I don't want to get into politics on a sports board, I'm just going to say that on the west coast there's a much different mentality towards college football than anywhere else in America.
Small college football is really dismissed in the Pacific Northwest and in California. I live in Idaho and until a couple years ago when the College of Idaho had restarted the sport, there was no small college football in the state for five or six decades.
I've been to the campuses of some of those nameless, faceless California State University schools that dropped or don't have football. They are like those businesses that shut down at 5:00 p.m. and you wish they were open because you just got off of work. They are ghost towns and commuter schools with no life to them at all. But many professors and administrators like it like that, like Azusa Pacific, where they can just go about their way, get 400 people a game to basketball and look down their noses at football playing schools.
There are no Northwest Missouri's, Grand Valley's, or Pittsburgh State's, out west.
