I don't. See LINK
Several schools are down but really within the noise. A&M, for example, was down 169/game, but does that really matter when every game is over capacity? The schools that were significantly down had lousy years: Tennessee, Kentucky, and Auburn were down enough to screw the average for the conference. (I think the Ole Miss number must be a typo for 2011 and they meant 55K rather than 65K.) An outlier is Florida, down over 1400/game compared to 2011. I can't explain that one away.

08Gator hit on most of it, but for season ticket holders at UF there has been a $250 increase in the required "donation" per seat and about a $15 increase in face value. Honestly, I don't know why I'm still buying them. Especially when its almost a guaranteed 3 games a year will be cupcakes (this year being the exception).
