so UConn had an 11% drop in attendance which relates to about 3000 fans - I didnt see whether this was people through the gates or ticket distribution.

Pretty easy to see which teams consider the AAC an upgrade and which consider it a downgrade.

A decade ago UConn averaged 40K. Just five years ago we outdrew BC, TCU and Baylor to name a few.

UConn who switched from distributed to actual attendance halfway through 2013 then switched from actual attendance to distributed halfway through 2014.

Probably a ham handed attempt to make whomever they hired look to have a big impact, but instead it just makes their numbers meaningless.

P5 = Monopolizing the market...

The old faithful fans are far and few between now that FBS football has become such a big financial business... unfortunately with this corporate mindset, it's all about what have you done for me lately... financial projections always have to exceed previous year's monetary gain.. there's no such thing as breaking even...

IMO, sad, and bad move for college football... there's enough money out there.. stop being greedy...
