Women's Basketball Attendance

[snarling Bull]

More than half UConn fans. Just about everyone on our section was a UConn fan. The entire 2 rows plus behind us were. Very few Bull fans near is except those court side

Looked like 2nd level was 99% Huskie fans with some sprinkled in on the lower level .... but what Bulls fans were there sure made a lot of noise when they had the chance.

Yep, we're ready for an OCS. Start digging today!

The attendance for a successful football program would far exceed the attendance of a successful women's basketball team as we have seen in the past. We must win before having an OCS would be viewed as successful. If we become a successful program and then have an OCS, we fill it up. Do not confuse women's basketball with football. That would be silly of you.

One can say that the attendence for all sports on campus would increase if USF did build a football OCS. You see, you are fighting a losing argument. You can keep trying to down play a need for an OCS, but USF knows that they will need one to be able to complete in the AAC. Look at Tulane and you will see. Look at Houston and you will see. Look at UCF and you will see. Heck, listen to what Temple is trying to do and you will see. This is a fight that I am afraid that you cant win.

My opinion is I don't see how an OCS can be justified financially until the tide of the football program begins to turn.

The time to do it was when we were at least better than a .500 team consistently.

After the novelty of the new stadium wears off, if the team isn't winning or at least exciting to watch you won't see much more attendance than what you see at RayJay.

The renovated Sun Dome is considered one of the nicest facilities in the country. With a crappy team we still have crappy attendance. What would lead anyone to believe that you would have better attendance (relatively speaking) for a crappy football team.

I know it is a chicken and egg thing, but how do sell someone on financing the construction expense when your team draws less than 20,000 people indicating little interest in a losing team. Then you have the newly renovated arena that struggles to get to 1/3 capacity on most nights?

Until we start winning and building interest again I just see an OCS as a tough sell

Looking only at it financially, you would never be able to justify it while Ray Jay is available.

You really going to compare men's or women's basketball attendance/popularity to football? No offense , but that is absurd. Football is an event. Basketball is a game.

Or ND, Baylor, TN, Loserville, Cal Berkeley, Chattanooga, NCSU, and on and on and on..

Tell it UConn and Kentucky.

You mean some of the top programs in the country with YEARS of success? We just were ranked #25 for the first time EVER. Let's get ranked in the Top 10 and do it consistently over the next 10 years and then we can talk.

To be fair to the student population during the UConn game, Its spring break this week.  Everyone is at the beach or at home XD
