Oh that's easy
UNT football is so mediocre, the one time they had an elite player, a guy named Mean Joe Greene, the school changed their mascot to commemorate him.
TV coverage and attendance are inextricably linked. They feed off of each other and is exactly why attendance and in-game production is so important and should be one of the paramount goals of the AD. Watching a game on TV with a loud, energetic crowd along with some cool lighting, music and activity during game breaks can entice those watching on TV to attend the next game because it's something they want to be a part of. Conversely, watching a game with unengaged/quiet fans with zero energy in a soulless and cavernous arena will certainly convince those watching on TV that they made the correct choice in not going to the game.
NOT suggesting our attendance woes are due to the Super Pit. There are plenty of things that can be done to improve the fan experience and improve the production for the TV viewer that are less costly than building a new arena further from campus. Hang some giant curtains to block off the upper deck and force everyone to fill in the lower bowl....remove them as necessary to accommodate large crowds would be a good start.
