Even with a season, ODU is currently averaging 6683. Not bad comparing to current CUSA list.

UTEP has a huge fan base.
Win a few more games in football and your attendance has a real potential to reach 40K+ as it has at times in the past.
Not intended to create a firestorm, but the Miners probably have the largest continuing fan base in the newest version of CUSA. I can't think of another program in the new CUSA that has the potential to average 10K and 40K in the 2 revenue sports.

Thanks Old Tiger...I think there is definitely momentum in the basketball area with Coach Floyd recruiting well. With a new football coach coming in we'll have to wait and see. He has already recruited locally well so there is hope.

Man, Memphis & UTEP's got it going on.
That's a good looking lineup. Really hate to see the break up.

RE: Conference USA Basketball attendance
Considering Marshall's really disappointing season, its figures aren't half bad.

Not bad but could be better. We were over 6K per game last year. I suspect we will finish in the mid to upper 5K range.

RE: Conference USA Basketball attendance
Sad to say, but in the Lone Star State at still too many collegiate outposts basketball is still what you do between Fall and Spring football.
Maybe we will learn something from some of you eastern seaboard schools?
GMG!
