A look at the attendance figures at a few select schools

Check this out...UC-Davis has kinda come into the big time and will likely never be small-time again.


Here's an attendance comparison - you tell me what you'd rather have, and which schools have made the right moves, and which have made the wrong moves.

UC-Davis
Historical average in prior decade- 600-1000
so far in 2014-15 - [B]2091 [/B](they had over 3000 last night and have over 4000 advanced sales for Saturday)
...up 100-200% above their historical average


Bradley
Historical average in prior decade- 9,000-10,000
so far in 2014-15 - 5437 (they had worst crowd in over 50 years Wednesday with just over 5000 and half were empties)
..we are DOWN 50% from our historical average


And I will throw in one other school also
FGCU
Historical average in past decade- 1200
so far in 2014-15 - 4,296
- up almost 300% from their historical average


Then try this one on for size...
SIUE Women's Basketball - their current home attendance average is 1,232...
not real impressive unless you look back where they were just 3, 4, 5, and 6 years ago..
Those season attendance averages were 949, 655, 473, 526, 458
...so again - they are up 100% over their historical average!!!


..are we beginning to see a pattern here - every one of those programs at SIUE, FGCU, UCD all have the very people we ran off and we went out and got new people who are destroying our programs!
Case closed.
