[QUOTE="herb, post: 453768, member: 924"] I think there are a lot of factors. From just a view of who I see attending football games, it appears that the two largest groups who do attend, more so alumni than perhaps students as it has been a while since I sat there, are African American and Caucasian. The number for these two groups as a percentage of the school has been declining. The last admission profile shows the number to be 53%. Compare that to the school in Athens where the best I could figure it is about 79%. Not a big difference in African American percentage, but a huge difference in Caucasian. so we are admitting about 4,000 students a year, a little over 2,000 of whom are the traditional make up of the attendees. That other school is admitting about 7,000 a year. Of this number, about 5,600 are the traditional fan base. Until we can find a meaningful way to get the 47% involved, this ain’t going to change and will only get worse because the trend in admissions is going that way heavily. [/QUOTE]
