Just running through some of the schools you listed, you run into another problem. Capacity. I know Oregon State maxes at 45,000 or so. Vandy is 40,00 at best.

Give ol'Doug a few more years... he'll get our attendance in line with expectations.

Well, a few differences I see on that list versus USF are: national championships, national name/brand recognition, history, etc. I don't know that anyone has singled out attendance as the metric that

While it is nice to know that USF had better attendance than these schools, a few things stick out. About half of these schools are private with small enrollments, they just dont have the alumni base

Relevant OP and a bunch of follow-up trying to figure out how to shoot down a positive fact. Typical. SMH.

Not shooting down a positive fact, just pointing out the numbers are skewed.

We have a lot of great things we can tout when it comes to p5 inclusion. Attendance isn't anywhere near the top of that list.

Exactly. If attendence was the final word, we'd be behind BYU and ECU. Two non-P5 teams with higher attendence than ours.

More stalking horse arguments. "Oh, weren't even talking about attendance". No one ever claimed attendance was the sole case for inclusion.

Not sure that anything positive comes from posts like this one. Its have nots complaining they are better in something than some of the haves. So what? Doesn't change who is in the Power 5 and that USF is out.

But we have higher attendance than Vanderbilt. That means the SEC is going to kick them out for us.

Exactly my point. The chance of that happening is the same as North Korea becoming the 51st state.

You mean, BEFORE Puerto Rico and Iran? No way. I say NK comes in at 53, tops.

Rutgers is proof that these decisions come down to market presence; I'd say our location will help us
