Have you actually watched any bowl games in these past 3-4 years? There is nobody at games outside maybe 10 bowls and the playoff games. TV money and advertising is driving the show and will until the TV ratings decline r eally bad. Butts in seats are welcomed as well.

tv and endorsement money will start drying up
The new SEC TV contract will be pouring an additional $20MM per team when the current contract ends. That's in addition to the $$ they already get (+/-$40MM/team)

Lol Cobbdawg strikes again with some dumb shite.
Look up TV deals and merchandise sales.

They should go the other way and flip the finger harder to non-alumni by jacking up those ticket prices even more while allowing people who actually attended and have a vested interest in the school bigger discounts.
Despite what people on here claim, that would devastate a huge portion of your fan base.

We’ve reached the point of diminishing returns in football. Can’t keep fleecing the consumer to pay exorbitant salaries and amenities

You aren’t too smart huh? Ever think that attendance is declining because more people rather stay at home and watch on their HD TVs than deal with the parking and $10 beers at the stadium?It won’t be long before that will change, when the networks or the schools or pros figure out how to charge per game. Home viewers will be paying more $$$ for the privilege.

Dude, profits are through the roof. Ticket sales are a drop in the bucket compared to TV revenue.

They only need to look at Boxing to realize they should never do that. Overall viewership and money will decrease exponentially. There are too many casual eyeballs that will never pay per view.

Nope...they will encourage people to view from home and stick it to the advertisers. What you will see is a push by the networks to increase/extend tv timeouts to try to insert as many revenue generating ads as they can. Even with the NFL model of keeping game length relatively consistent, ads eat up a huge chunk of gametime.

This is why I love finding a 20 minute replay of the game that literally just shows every play back-to-back-to-back.
There also is something to be said for the anticipation, though, during a crucial season-defining drive or end-of-game like the final second of the Kick Six.

The real question is, especially for college football where atmosphere is a bigger selling point, at what point does the reduced appeal of attending a game live start to negatively affect TV appeal.
I.e. Would Tiger Stadium being 75% full make people less likely to watch on TV because the atmosphere of the game is lesser? (I think this is a minor concern)
The bigger side of it, at what point do people not attending games start to lose their connection with a specific team/conference/sport in general, become more casual fans, and in the long run watch less? I think the NBA is running into this now
