[QUOTE="JacketOff, post: 736812, member: 4572"] So you agree with me in that history, success, and spotlight are all more important in name recognition that the size of the school? Fields and Lawrence both play on teams who are historical powerhouses, and also modern day powerhouses. They met in the CFP, and one of them has a national title to his name. Both of their schools have fewer students than UCF, but both of them have multiple times the amount of followers Milton does. I skipped over your first question because it’s not relevant to my point. Are fan bases generally formed through graduating students? Yes. But success and history plays just as much, if not more of a role. Joe Burrow currently has 1.1M insta followers. Now I really have no idea what his follower count looked like at this point last year, but given he was the starter for a top tier SEC team, and spent time at a top tier B1G team, I’d assume he probably had somewhere in the 100k range. Probably still more than McKenzie Milton even without accomplishing nearly as much, and with LSU and Ohio State both having smaller enrollments than UCF. Why? Because LSU and Ohio State are much more valuable brands, and their histories of success have allowed them to grow into much larger fan bases. Once again, look at Duke basketball. One of the smallest enrollments in the P6 of D1 basketball, and arguably the largest fanbase in D1 basketball. Enrollment is so far down on the list of relevance for a fan base and potential NIL earnings that it might as well not even be considered. [/QUOTE]
