I wouldn't say it's a big IF at all. The athletic department has had 2 highly successful seasons in the last decade or so to capitalize on and a back to back SEC Championship appearance but wasn't able to stoke an insane amount of interest with that.

I think, honestly, the SEC media has alot to do with that. Even after almost winning the conference, we were wrote off the next year by experts and ended up appearing in the ship again. In the Big XII we always had favorable media coverage surrounding our successes. In the SEC, as with this board, our success are always written off as luck. A&M who has had alot less "success" in football since joining the conference, has been able to have alot favorable media coverage from the experts and pundits of the conference.

I do believe that has alot to do with it aswell.
