It's true . But, OTOH they could walk all day and never find a person who isn't a fan. And they are athletes so they can walk far.
In those days, almost every town and community in the whole state had a full scholarship to give to their best football player.
They could walk all day and never find another person altogether.
Having more fun at their expense, but you make a good point...
But first, you would have to have a reason to be in Ogallala.
Ogallala is a lush oasis if you're riding a bicycle down the South Platte River Valley. Just down the road in Paxton you can get a good steak at Ole's Steakhouse.
Passed through the western panhandle area en route to the Black Hills. I thought Scottsbluff was spectacular. The Pine Ridge area and the upper Niobrara River basin were very scenic. They were also devoid of people.

I think you just need good recruiting assistant coaches and you build up the talent level, even at a place like Nebraska.
Look at this recruiting dynamo, doing it right there. Man I wish we could snag him if their entire staff gets blown out, maybe he could be that tenth assistant coach everyone is hiring.
This is from when he was still at Arizona for a year -

Is Northwestern willing to pay 400k for an assistant?

The Sand Hills are great. It's rumored that some people live there somewhere. The lower Niobrara is beautiful as well.
But by those standards, wouldn't the same thing be said of IL? Just saying location is a lot but not the whole reason.
Pennsylvania's classes tend to be more up and down than they used to be as the number of high school graduates have been falling off, especially in the western part of the state. There are still some tough football players produced in western Pa., just fewer of them than there used to be. That said, this year's class looks very good. In our league's upper division, Harrisburg has a couple of studs (Ohio State is trying to get a five-star playing for Harrisburg, Micah Parsons, out of Pa.)
What else is close to Illinois? Wisconsin? Indiana?
I saw a study some years back that distance from home is still the single most important (explanatory) factor in determining where an athlete attends school.
