Message: [QUOTE="HRE Otto IV, post: 5165637, member: 5685"] You all are focusing on the wrong thing. SU is a small private school in a not highly populated area with most of the alumni not living near by. That is the reason why we have roughly 37,500 "regulars" at games. Our number of regulars is small. One cannot expect casual fans to drive attendance. Private P4 schools avgs 2018-2023 (not including 2020): Notre Dame 76,108 USC 60,316 BYU 59,058 Miami 50,684 Baylor 44,087 TCU 43,835 [B]AVG 41,190[/B] SU 37,873 [B]Median 36,804[/B] BC 35,734 Stanford 34,746 Northwestern 32,848 Wake 28,623 Vanderbilt 26,499 Duke 23,499 SMU 22,755 So we are 7th out of 14. That makes us slightly above median but slightly below avg. Are we not where we should be? We are also ahead of public P4s in Maryland, Cincy, Fresno, Boise, KU, Oregon State, San Diego State, Houston, Washington State, Colorado State. [/QUOTE]
