[QUOTE="HurricaneJacket, post: 681556, member: 3006"] Its a multi faceted problem that has as many reasons as schools, but I think there are a couple of overarching trends. 1. TV is king: everything seems to be done at the behest of and for the benifit of the TV gods. From kick times being announced between 6 and 14 days ahead of time (instead of at the start of the season), to putting kids and fans out in 100 degree weather at noon. The schools have bowed to TV, so the fans are flocking over there instead of the stadium. 2. Prices keep rising for products that are losing relative value. With the exception of very few teams, costs are climbing foe tickets, but championships at any level are not coming with it. Combine those two things with fans obviously being the least important consideration and attendence drops precipitously. [/QUOTE]
