Your Frank is showing, Clarity. Take a deep breath. Everything is going to be okay. You don't think Cal Baptist will be able to draw in Riverside. I think they have a chance. Time will tell.

You are wrong. UVU has done a great job of embracing the WAC and getting people out to the games. The attendance numbers are real. UVU has also been in the top 20 in NCAA men's soccer attendance for the past three years.
CBU has already sold over 500 season tickets for basketball before they have played a game in the arena. They did not build this $73 million arena for 1,000 fans per night. They have a forward thinking administration that has been planning this move to D1 for awhile. They have money and are ambitious. In the Riverside/Inland Empire area, there is only one other D1 school and that is UCR. They play in a rec center. CBU will have no trouble getting to 3,000 a night with the new arena. They should be able to attract a much better non-conference schedule than UCR puts together with the arena and market.

You seem to want the Ags to take credit for schools attendance improvements, and that's simply not true. Its a function of overall conference improvement.

I was impressed. Think it rattled us a lot.

I should have clarified before Bakersfield fans got their feelings hurt. I know that UTRGV, Utah Valley also had their largest for conference vs. the Aggies. How many teams sold out or had their largest crowd for any other team other than NMSU? I thought so.

No feelings hurt just pointing out you were objectively wrong. NMSU was actually one of the smaller crowds for UMKC at about 1000. Their largest in conference game was for Chicago State at about 2000. Seattle's largest draw was Utah Valley with about 600 more than NMSU. I can't find comprehensive numbers for Chicago State or Utah Valley. That's still half the league whose largest in conference draw wasn't NMSU. Not sure why you are so defensive and aggressive over something so trivial and meaningless.

if it wasn't for that NMSU game was the biggest crowd for gcu vs the Aggies
