Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 5164022, member: 833"] This is what you being proven completely wrong looks like. We don't all need to have an opinion on this issue. There is a lot of data. And it is pretty good for the Big East. [URL unfurl="true"]http://fs.ncaa.org.s3.amazonaws.com/Docs/stats/m_basketball_RB/Attend.pdf[/URL] All 5 of the majors are pretty close in average attendance, which is impressive for the Big East since: A) The Big East schools, including UConn, do play some games in smaller, on campus arenas that bring down the average attendance, and B) most Big East games are playing in big city arenas where everyone pays full price for their tickets, as opposed to the big rural schools, where over 50% of a weeknight game's crowd is students paying little or nothing for those tickets. The Big East has the best tournament (Duh) and had the best growth from among the majors. Your AAC is a disaster, and getting worse.
