most of these college stadiums are filled with people travelling from over 2+ hours away. It's a hassle both from a cost and time perspective. If you had free tickets to Alabama-New Mexico State, why go when its on TV? It'd cost roughly 150 in gas,


A 2+ hour car ride is $150 in gas to go both ways? You know... they sell gas by the gallon these days. It is much cheaper than buying 1 cup at a time.

As a season ticket holder to Arkansas football, we 100% did not average 65k people last year.


The numbers were taken over a 5 year sample.

There is now way the University of Kansas averages 26,000 fans at games.

I have a Michigan State friend who basically said there are only 5 or 6 teams every year that have a legitimate shot at a national title (the usual suspects) and with success being measured as #1 or nothing it is taking interest away. Was interesting to hear a fan from another school's opinion.
it is taking interest away.

I agree. When I accepted that the blue blood schools are allowed to play by different rules, and the smaller schools are punished for trying to achieve the next level by doing the same things the big schools are allowed to do, it has dampened interest for many that feel the same way I do.

Really used to be amazed at how many students id see watching the game in the bars in Athens instead of being at the game.

The ACC is an unbelievably pathetic football conference.

That fact that Missouri would rank third in the Big 12 is insane. Texas, OU and then those stadiums REALLY drop off.
