Three years ago USF packed the arena for UCONN. Last year they jumped the ticket prices from $8 up to $35 and only filled half the arena. About 75% UCONN for both games. If they keep the ticket prices reasonable, they will do well in Florida. Half the state is transfers from up north anyway.
And 75% of the states falls into one of the prime demographics for WCBB - SENIORS!
I do think we can really help kick start attendance for some of these schools - many of them have good WCBB demographics, they just haven't had the teams/focus to develop the audience. I like to look at Louisville as a good example of what a little focus, a good coach, a school commitment, and quality competition can do. Not sure what the figures were pre BE and pre Jeff, but they have had top 5 attendance figures for a number of years.
