Here is reality. UConn attendance has been falling for years.  It had been pretty stable at around 13500 until 2006 when it peaked at 13948.  The next year it dropped off and kept dropping off even with championship teams. In 2010 it was down to 11287. There was a very modest bump in 2012 to 12690 but it dropped on 13 to 10728 and again in 2014.  It was steady in 2015 at 10, 500 ish.  A combination of awful teams, new league and a general decline in live sports attendance all contributed.  And anyone who actually attended games was aware that attendance by 2012 wasn’t like it had been in the previous decades. And that was before leaving the Big East.  But the biggest culprit was bad basketball. My guess is that there will be a big jump for a couple of years to around 12000  then it will settle down around whee it was before Ollie crashed and burned. Unless Hurley doesnt delivers. In which case it will stabilize around where it is now. And we will try to take even less money to get into a reconstituted Yankee Conference because we beat Princeton with Bill Bradley when we were there.
