And he was right. I’m not arguing we should have kept Mason, like not even a little bit, but Fleck does have more built in advantages. He has a football friendly administration with an on campus stadium and brand new workout facilities.

Corrected.

Even with the change, Fleck can catch him in 2022!

I'm not making excuses for him. I'm just saying he is factually correct in this. He didn't have much to work with back then considering poor facilities and playing in the Metrodump.

That would likely mean at least a 14 game season! How fun would that be?

Are these things most other P5s lack these days?

No. And they weren't when Mason was coaching. So thank you for proving my point.

I bet it was a lot less common in Mason’s day.
