In addition to football record, football attendance is another category that it appears only UConn has struggled with in recent seasons.  Cincinnati (Yes!  That same Cincinnati that has been written in "ink" from the get-go) averaged 28K in 2014 season.  They go to bowl games every year.  UCF played in front of friends and family last year (winless seasons will that), Memphis uses curtains at home games and really only has sold tickets in the last 1-2 years (thanks to a NFL QB), and Houston has had their struggles selling tickets to the point that their football coach has pleaded with fans to buy tickets and they have to run a "HTownTakeover" campaign...[I][B]in their own home market[/B][/I].

Yes, UConn football attendance has been down in recent years.  We all know the reasons why.  But it's not like all of our G5 competition draws well (exception: BYU).  They are all in the same attendance sphere as UConn and they have all enjoyed recent winning seasons.  Maybe UConn is held to a higher standard because we've already played BCS era football?  Or maybe there is a bit of a double-standard used in national media when it comes to justifying their anti-UConn sentiment.
