re: Has interest in college football peaked? At least one SEC AD thinks so...

I don't know if interest has peaked, but I think attendance is a real area of concern. A few thoughts:

1. As others have said, the improvement in the home experience hurts the market for going to games. When most games are on TV, and watching from home is so much easier and in some ways a better experience, it hurts attendance.

2. Football is expensive to attend, and to draw crowds that feel justified in spending that much, each game must be an "event". Cupcakes OOC games (and sometimes even non-rivalry in-conference games) are not really events, but you still have a lot of hassle and expense to attend. I don't think SEC schools are going to have trouble with "big" games, but yeah, playing crappy teams, more and more people may elect to stay home.
