Population growth dictates that both TV and attendance will increase over time, although attendees will always be majority cyclical.

The thing hurting attendance at the moment, for football, is multifaceted.

1 - Weak economy.
2 - Aging fan bases who have followed programs for years.
3 - Price increases and seat licensing.
4 - Less interested student fanbase - typical of the younger generation.

Those are the causes, the causality of the TV effect. TV itself is not the problem.

Winning teams will always pack houses.
