You're right in that the Monarchs should fall off slightly next season but I've long said that a football team at ODU would be like a sleeping giant living just across the room and not knowing it. The Hampton Roads market has to be, has to be, a Top-10 HS talent pool and combine that with the large metropolitan population base and it always shocked me ODU wasn't playing on the gridiron. It was really a no-brainer to begin the program and I think it has helped the school transition a bit away from the 'Commuter' tag it has always been labeled with.
