Re: Iup basketball
THis is an interesting point. Percentage of female students has increased significantly, and they are less likely to be fans of the sports teams. I'd bet that the male students are also less likely to be sports participants and so are not interested in the college level sports. I wonder how many participate in intramural basketball. That used to be a huge thing. How many pickup games do you see at the gym any more ?
I can't argue with any of the points about game time atmosphere, but I don't think any changes will get you more than a few hundred increase on average. The huge crowd at Seton Hill had to do with the faith night church service after the game.
The IUP attendance is pretty good compared to other D2 schools, considering the size of the local population.
