Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 4764257, member: 7492"] NCAA takes whatever the schools gives them which is now "tickets sold". In fact I am not aware of any League that reports only "fannies in the seats" any more after the national league moved off of that. UConn does sell out Gampel quite regularly for both Men and Women at 10,167 but rarely sells out the XL Center in Hartford at 16,294 (both teams split their home schedules, more recently at about 50%). From a percent of seating UConn Women had 6 Gampel Sellouts out of 11 games (including 2 NCAAT games), 0 of 6 XL sellouts. So while they did have an average of 10,255 (above the Gampel limit of 10,167) they have room for improvement which based on my current intel is saying we will exceed last year's averages. Ok, so with the above edits, let me be absolute on one and "who really knows" on the other. For Iowa, Carver arena holds only 14,382 as has been documented countless of times with numerous "sellouts" of both Men's and Women's games over the years so I am certain on that. The PMAC lists only 13,215 as its seating capacity and very rarely has it sold out for either Men's or Women's games. That said, last year against Tennessee, LSU reported 15,157 in attendance, while with the Men you have to go way back to 2015 and see 4 games of 13,468; 13,610; 13,573 and 13,882 that were above the "stated capacity". One thing I am certain of is the LSU Women's team will outdraw the Men this year. Which leads me to these two other observations- 1. Kim never tried this hard to sell season tickets in Waco as her 5 year high was 7,929 and her career high was 9,970 way back in 2012-13. 2. Nicki Collen is cratering that Baylor attendance to a 12 year low of 4,393 when Kim last had 7,929 in 2019-20. So at some point with poorer results and less fans the AD will have to do something.
