The NCAA stats site has attendance figures.

Here are how many fans schools at different spots average:

#10 Purdue 6,515
#20 Middle Tennessee 4,353
#30 Toledo 3,728
#40 Stanford 3,063
#50 Hampton 2,629

The top 7 average over 8,000 a game. #8 Oregon averages 7,148, then you have 3 schools over 6,000. BTW, Oregon was at 4,255 the year before, so they were a big jump.

ND was 6th in home attendance, but was 2nd in overall attendance (behind UConn, who was 4th in home attendance, so both teams increased the draw for their road games).

The top 7 were the same for the last 3 years (South Carolina, Iowa St., Louisville, UConn, Miss. St. ND, and Tennessee). Four years ago, 6 of the 7 were the same, but MSU was out and MSU was in (Miss St. and Michigan St. respectively).

Those numbers are worse than terrible. If I was the School President I
would have the athletic directors in my office explaining those numbers and
coming up with a plan to fix them. I guarantee you if it was football or
mens basketball they would.

How can schools like MT and Hampton be outdrawing bigger schools. Especially,
since most of your smaller schools have a smaller population to draw from.

Plus the student body needs to put the can of beer down and go support the
women. I did, I even went and watched our womens tennis team play. Then
walked home after the event.

Me too. That Stanford is crazy. They should be ashamed. *

Yes, Stanford should be ashamed

consistently good teams, most are highly ranked, HOF coach, no reason why their attendance should be this abysmal.
