bottomline is win some OOC games so you can keep some fans for the Conference match-ups.

Even if we averaged 20,000 each game, any other Sun Belt school that averaged 10,000 per game would pull the conference average down. While we need to improve our own attendance, it's up to the other schools to do the same in order to improve the overall conference average.

what if the NT Daily ran a feature before the season started listing everyone in the conference, and "why you should care when we play this team"?

May sound stupid, but it would at least give someone something to think about when considering going to the game against UL-whoever

I still believe our games would average well over 20k, regardless of our record, if we were in C-USA. Dont underestimate the effect familiarity with a program has on attendance.
