I honestly don't think it matters THAT much for attendance whether we win or lose in conference. The people coming to these games are the same people that would attend a spring game or a Bulls practice. The average USF alum, student, or Tampa casual fan will attend if USF is nationally relevant or it is a big game that everyone in the area is talking about. Winning in conference consistently may take average actual attendance from 10k to 20k, but right now in this league, our ceiling and floor ain't all that different.
The way I see it, step 1 destroy all these no name in conference schools weekly step 2 get into a better conference = increased fan support. We have to get step one accomplished before we worry about fan support. It's going to be abysmal until we get out of this league.
