Eye opening article on announced attendance vs. actual attendance
Quote:......MU officials announced 130,447 fans attended games in 2017, yet only 82,831 tickets were scanned. That's a differential of 47,616 fans, which means only 63.5 percent of Marshall's announced attendance actually attended the games in Edwards Stadium.
[...]
UTEP announced 97,740 fans, but scanned only 45,444 tickets (46.5 percent). Four other C-USA members were in the 50 percentile.

Middle Tennessee was next after UTEP with 93,718 announced fans, but only 50,566 scanned tickets (54.0 percent). Next came Old Dominion (120,708 announced, 68,716 scanned tickets, 56.9 percent); Charlotte (71,420 announced, 41,853 scanned tickets, 58.6 percent); and Louisiana Tech (142,626 announced, 85,246 scanned tickets, 59.8 percent).

Following them were Southern Miss (130,265 announced, 79,913 scanned tickets, 61.3 percent; UAB (158,282 announced, 100,023 scanned tickets, 63.2 percent; Marshall; and UTSA (114,104 announced, 74,385 scanned tickets, 65.2 percent.

Rice, Florida Atlantic, FIU and North Texas weren't included in the documentation.

That leaves only Western Kentucky. The Hilltoppers showed the most integrity in C-USA by scanning 89,635 tickets of their announced 94,234 attendance for 95.1 percent.

If not, I'm sure we'll also see some poaching happening. For example: Say FIU had a young QB that was just lights out first 3-4 games and Miami contacted him and told him to transfer and he could start next season. This could happen anywhere.

I think you responded to the wrong thread.
