2015 NCAA Attendence #s//Does It Affect Your View of Replacements?
The 2015 NCAA FBS average attendance numbers are out. Do these number color your opinions on possible replacement candidates should the AAC lose a pair of teams to the Big-12? The AAC averaged 31,842 per game as a league and was the only FBS league (other than the SEC) that posted an increase in attendance in 2015 (AAC up 2,649, SEC up 936).

Per League Averages

SEC--78,630
B1G--66,008
Big12--57,347
Pac12--51,880
ACC--49,033
AAC--31,842
MW--23,880
CUSA-20.379
SB--17482
MAC--15316

Just a random assortment of potential replacements---

Air Force-26,206
Army-30,991
Boise-33,612
NIU-13,942
UMass-11,124
Arky St-23,007
Ball St-7,974
Bowling Green-19,608
Buffalo-18,457
BYU-58,532
Colorado St-24,917
Fresno-29,036
Georgia Southern-20,780
Georgia St-10,347
LaTech-20,977
UL-L-21,596
Marshall-26,322
New Mexico-23,528
Ohio-21,323
Old Dominion-20,118
Rice-19,339
S Miss-28,335
SDSU-29,066
Texas St-18,166
Toledo-20,842
UNLV-19,371
UTSA-23,008
Western Kentucky-17,960

I still say it depends on the pair we lose. Losing UH and SMU is different than UCONN and Cincy who is different than USF and UCF.

Right if we lose Houston and SMU we could probably see Tulsa heading west to MWC and we are down to 9 add Old Dominion, Army (if possible), Southern Miss, and GA Southern to create an East Coast Conference. Add VCU and Dayton for Army and Navy Olympic sports.

Tulsa has already gone that direction before. Nothing there for us. Try playing those mountain teams at their altitude. Is really tough. They are used to it.

Actually if we lost the Texas schools our targets will likely be Rice, UTEP, New Mexico, NMSU, Ark State, La Tech, and USM. So we would grab Rice (Houston and Baseball) and personally I would like NMSU. We could also see Rice, NMSU, New Mexico, and Army (FB only) to bring it 14/12. Or even Rice, AFU, CSU, and Army (FB only).

If we lost Cincy and UCONN we would be looking at UMass, WKU, Army (FB Only), Marshall, UMass, Air Force, and Colorado State. This one is interesting as you either abandon the northeast (AFU/CSU) or you add Army and go 14/12 (AFU/CSU/Army/WKU).

If we lose the Florida schools our options will be FIU, FAU, Ga Southern, Ga State, South Alabama, UAB, USM, Coastal Carolina, Ark State. We will avoid F_U here I would think so we either stay southern and add Atlanta (Ga State/Ga Southern), better connect with the west (Ark State/USM), both (Ga St/Ga So/USM/Ark State), or both plus Army and UMass.

If we lose Memphis and ECU (just humor me here xD) the targets would be Coastal Carolina, MTSU, WKU, App State, Charlotte, Marshall, and ODU. I think we go MTSU, WKU, App State, Charlotte, ODU, and Army (FB Only) here. Not the best situation, but also the least likely to happen.

Exactly, and if we get football replacements with most of the names that have been thrown out so far we can kiss the ESPN contract goodbye. Right or wrong the AAC was built on markets and that’s the only thing that ESPN is interested in.

Ga State (ATL), Rice (Houston), ODU (Norfolk), etc are all good markets.

I would have thought Fresno and Air Force had better attendance numbers. I think they have in the past.

SDSU at just under 30k could get a nice bump with the Chargers leaving.

Ball State...wow. That is basketball attendance.

Yeah, I was actually looking at schools with only one P5 in thier state and no real G5 competition. I was thinking schools like that have real potential. Lol, then Ball State came up. Turned and placed my new theory in the garbage can.

ODU is the only one with potential out of that group. I'd just take the two projects of ODU and Charlotte.

Muncie is 2 hours from Columbus, OH, Bloomington, IN, and West Lafayette, IN. In a state with 2 B1G schools and ND. Hardly an isolated school without much competition. Also only an hour from Indy. They are WAY down the entertainment food chain.

Word of warning: Army's attendance will be down this season due to the world's most terrible home slate.

Ga State has potential but they need to be a package deal with Ga Southern for me to accept them in. Rice is an academic school with fantastic Baseball, we could do worst.

I would be surprised if it's a significant drop, Army fans seem to be a pretty loyal bunch.

Yeah, Morgan State and Lafayette aren't even decent names. UNT, regardless of record, is a directional school name. Rice is a well-known name and Air Force will drew a crowd. That is the only team saving the putrid slate. However, we go a month without a home game, that could help drew some bigger crowds.

It doesn't help that we have two neutral site games and if we repeat the 2-10 mark, it will be OK with me as long as we win those two games.

You have to be super loyal to be an Army or Temple fan! 04-cheers

I have a friend who is a Temple fan and he is trying to get us tickets for the Army-Temple game.

If Army can be 3-2 entering the Lafayette game, we can get some good crowds. But I have been optimistic in the past and drastically, we probably will be 1-4.

If we lose to a FCS team for the third year in a row, our head coach must go. Fordham was understandable, Yale was a complete debacle. Morgan State and Lafayette are awful. We cannot lose either game.

It is not the 1930's anymore.

Home or away I try to never miss the Army Temple game. Army always brings a great crowd to the Linc and a game at Michie Stadium is such a great experience. Personally I enjoy seeing Army on Temples schedule, Army supported Temple during the dark years of Temple football and I appreciate that. 04-cheers
