Playing in the AAC wasn't getting crowds.

[I]UConn’s low attendances could get the school in hot water with the NCAA. According to [URL='https://www.ncaa.org/sites/default/files/Football%20Bowl%20Subqa%2012%208%2014.pdf']NCAA Bylaw 20.9.9.2[/URL], FBS schools must “Average at least 15,000 in actual or paid attendance for all home football contests over a rolling two-year period.” Actual attendance is defined as scanned attendance; the number of people who enter the game with a ticket.

Paid attendance is a little more complex. In order for tickets to be counted as paid attendance, they must be sold for one-third of the price established at the start of the season or if a ticket sold for less than the one-third threshold is used to attend the game. People working at the game, such as vendors, security, etc., are not counted for paid attendance nor are players, coaches or cheerleaders.[/I]
