First, when you play Ohio State or Michigan amongst the thousands of their alumni who live in NY and NJ, you are going to get a spike in your attendance. It's like what happens to Georgetown BB attendance when they play SU or Villanova at home. Half the seats they sell are to fans of opposing teams. Secondly, Rutgers sits in an extremely dense population center. All of whom would prefer to see the Giants play, but cannot get tickets. When Temple was thrown out of the BE for low attendence they were getting about 7K per game. Most of the BE schools were averaging in the high 30K - 40K range. Rutgers was getting under 20K. I thought at the time that the BE should just go ahead and throw them out too. They were parasites on the Conference. [/QUOTE]
