Millennials have plenty of interest in college football. What we don't have any interest in is paying thousands of dollars for season tickets that have 2 decent games. We are not like the previous generations who are so in awe of the sight of any college football game that we will sit through 4 quarters of an MTSU game and blindly cheer. The current CFB model would be the equivalent of the NFL playing half its games against other NFL teams and the other half against arena league and CFL teams.

Interest in college football is at an all time high nationwide.
The problem is specific to students these days. In this day and age of high def tvs and cell phones, kids have no attention span and are used to experiencing the world through some gadget, not live and in person.
The non-game experience has vastly improved and the gameday experience has largely stayed the same (or gotten worse due to ridiculous prices).
It's a nationwide problem.
They need to vastly improve the in stadium conditions. TV revenue is where they make their money these days, stop trying to bleed every single person at the games with $80 tickets to beat cream puff U or $8 soft drinks, etc.
