Makes me think they can absolutely be a national power in multiple sports over the next decade.

Don't get me wrong, I wasn't kicking dirt on it at all.

But pretty much every story about their situation for the past few seasons (since 2014 really) has mentioned that factor (certainly it's been the difference in bumping them ahead of Texas if nothing else).
