When I hear the names of these 9 colleges. I think of the term "basketball schools". None were higher than 38th nationally in average per game home football attendance in 2012.
38 North Carolina (50,286)
41 Kentucky (49,991)
52 Indiana (44,802)
54 Kansas (41,329)
61 Syracuse (37,953)
64 Maryland (36,023)
67 UConn (34,672)
80 Duke (28,170)
88 Memphis (24,371)
While most have had a few good seasons here and there in the last 25 years (I know we're newbies to FBS), these 9 are always thought of as basketball schools. Not complaining or saying we don't do our best as fans to help move the needle, but a long-time tradition is tough to build. People complain about our fan base in football, but I do the same thing when I watch an Alabama, Penn State, Nebraska or Clemson basketball game on TV.
