I do hope that Ft lewis is able to progress as you said. And I think a huge start is who's in the foundation at the University. I think BHSU has some great people in that department as well as some big donors helping move the athletic departments in the right direction.
BHSU in the past also was a very dominant program in other sports like cross country basketball and volleyball. You can sure do a lot more with 5 full rides on a basketball team than you can a football team! And we definitely had issues getting buy in for some time supporting the football program as it is very expensive! So i think historically based on that your saying Durango and Spearfish have been in similar situations. Back in the 2000s they hired a great football coach that changed the football program immensely in my opinion. He actually left because the school hadn't fulfilled promises as far as support for the football program. Finding that special coach and keeping them can be hard as well.
