The reasons I like LU's chances better than Coastal's in a successful transition.
1) Money - Coastal had a very nasty fight with S.C. to raise money for expansion, LU has not had that problem. Paying coaches, and marketing along with schedule building, money can be a very stabilizing force. LU will not run out of money prior to transition period being complete.
2) Fan Base - LU attendance (season tickets, away game attendance, home game attendance and engagement in boosters clubs, along with TV ratings are far superior to those of Coastal during transition phase. LU's brand nationally is much stronger as well, and I see this as no contest compared to Coastal.
3) Athletic Director - Ian has gotten us off to a hot start in the transition, and if he is here for another 2 years he will lay a foundation anyone should succeed on.
4)Power of Prayer - I am only half joking about this one, I believe God has accomplished a great work through LU and will continue to do so as long as LU remains committed to His purposes. So I know its super cheesy, and probably not a bullet point that would be listed on most msg boards as support for your view point, I believe it necessary when talking about LU. Lets not get side tracked on this point. It was simply an add on.
