[QUOTE="JacketOff, post: 736767, member: 4572"] :facepalm: McKenzie Milton was the QB of UCF’s “national championship” team in 2017, and finished 8th in Heisman voting. He won 22 straight games at UCF, and his injury cost UCF a chance at a 2nd “national championship” in 2018. His social media following has very little, to nothing, to do with his school’s enrollment. And even given the large enrollment, is still a fraction of the following of what stars at schools with larger fan bases have.

Instagram almost always has more followers. And for the record Jahmyr Gibbs has 12k Instagram followers, and hasn’t even played a down in college. The size of the school [I]does not [/I]matter. The largest factors are: 1) Success in the national spotlight, and 2) Fanbase size. And larger schools ≠ larger fan base. [/QUOTE]
