Message: [QUOTE="elimunelson, post: 2768052, member: 615"] that is a great barometer and very positive. However, the days of 45k plus will be extremely rare especially because the school is not gonna schedule mid 90s like OOC opponents anymore. Smart scheduling, bad for the attendance when a shiny new object (Michigan, Penn St, LSU) come to town. Those games were events. The shine is coming off playing non interesting conference opponents like NC State and Louisville. These aren't rivals. I guarantee if you made those games WVU and Rutgers w the same stakes we'd have a slight uptick. I guess what i'm saying is alot is going into the attendance malaise. A sneaky one is the stupid conference realignment of teams that have zero geographic touch points. Money dictates it and i'm not saying we made a mistake but the collective issue is coming home to roost [/QUOTE]
