Free tickets, better scheduling, more favorable kickoff times. Can't blame students for not wanting to watch State U SEC school pound Directional University with a 12:00 kickoff in 100 degree September weather with a hangover.

Amen to that, especially when you can go to an air conditioned bar and watch on a high definition TV or do so from home

Idk about free tickets. It was like $250 for a sports pass that got you into everything when I was in school. For me, that was like <$10 a ticket by the end of the year.

The rest of your post is spot on. I promise if A&M played Clemson, Colorado, Notre Dame in a single season (not over 6 seasons) it would crush 100k for them and not just have 85k show up and announce 97k.

The weather is right too. No team in the should should have a game start before 6 in Sept. even then I’d argue 7 would be better.
