Message: [QUOTE="KnightBridgeAZ, post: 2961803, member: 591"] USF has always drawn relatively well to what some might expect and UCF has a history of promotion of their sports programs. In general, AAC figures are skewed by UConn's presence. The vast majority of attendees at the AAC tournament are UConn fans from (nearby) UConn. The ACC in particular has a tournament that is not well located to its best drawing team (Notre Dame) and traditionally, I think, tournaments can be a tough sell. Look at the size of contingents from everyone but UConn in the oBE, and I was there at the tourneys. Heck, there were more UConn folks than RU folks back when the tourney was held at Rutgers. Rutgers and Notre Dame has small contingents, everyone else was few and far between. Absent marked success - and I mean truly marked success - don't expect much improvement at any of the schools you site. If nothing else, the OP showed that attendance is (in general) fairly static.
