[MeanGreen61]

Interesting that the Sun Belt did not rank last in attendance for 2004. Here's the attendance averages from the official NCAA site.

MWC 35,213 (+2404)

CUSA 28,359 (-3987)

WAC 24,529 (-456)

SUN BELT 18.054 (+3133)

MAC 17,899 (-79)

I just like seeing the big increase for the Belt. We still have a long ways to go, but at least we are going up...unlike a couple of the other conferences.

Wonder what kind of averages the WAC will turn in during the '05 season? And you have to wonder what % of average attendance contribution did Fresno St, Boise, and Hawaii make in '04 compared to the other WAC members?

Good point. I find it hard to believe that the WAC is doing much better than us. As soon as Boise State and Fresno State fall down a few pegs, and they will, nobody in the WAC will replace them and they will fall below the Belt.

The irony of the WAC's drop in attendance is UTEP's massive turnaround (in attendance, not record). The other WAC teams must've stunk a big one in that area for it to drop like that.
