Against the new college football playoff Commentary from ConnCarroll:
But ratings aren’t everything and actual game attendance has been steadily declining since 2008. The same is not true with the NFL, which has seen in-person attendance bounce back. Any sport which is experiencing declining game attendance is only hollowing out its future television fan base and clearly, the current in-game experience isn’t what it used to be.Average attendance had been rising steadily in college football for years until 2008 when it peaked at around 47,000.
These moves all make sense if you are trying to add big markets for your conference’s cable network. But they do not make any sense from a college football fan perspective. And what have football fans gotten in their place? Total garbage. No one wants to watch Nebraska vs. Maryland or Missouri vs. Vanderbilt on television, let alone travel to the game. How many southern Californians are going to make the 3,000-mile trek to Rutgers in New Jersey? Zero.
