And they have their own media Network. Facts matter.

Independent coupled with hard work and effort is the only way to stand out in a crowd.

Cajun culture is nationally brandable, but it takes vision, drive and determination along with hard work.

Cajun culture is nationally brandable

This is where I think you're wrong..

Previous job had me making alot of sales calls all over the country, and anyone who had heard of the Ragin' Cajuns immediately started making Bobby Boucher jokes and asking about eating alligators.

Small student body, small media market, and paltry attendance aside -- I think the biggest hill this school will have to climb is the perception that we're that goofy, scrappy little team from the swamp that'll "sneak up on ya!" if you take them too lightly.

"Hard work"

We are our biggest hurdle.

To be fair, no P5's wanted them. Mountain West certainly would've preferred to retain BYU. But with their bitter instate rival Utah going to Pac 12 back then, BYU couldn't have that '100% left behind' perception. Now both will be equals again. BYU is lucky it worked out though.
