i would agree but also consider NDSU is about the only legit game in that state if you don't receive a scholly from a bigger out of state school. they don't have as much competition when recruiting locally or statewide at the FCS level. in the valley (and ohio) you have a far greater pool of bigger colleges that can recruit so arguably YSU will have a harder time attracting talented local or state native athletes.
The attendance issue can be attributed to a lot of things. Lack of winning, zero stability, unaccountable AD Dept, OSU and Big Ten football in general, stadium atmosphere, little student interest (winning would help)
