Maybe it is just a coincidence but it seems that there are more empty seats, from the TV view, than other years. It was certainly noticeable at the Cuse game yesterday. The arena seemed a bit empty for the Florida State game and watching other ACC games I also notice more empty seats than usual. It could be my imagination, or the weather, or nothing. Obviously Duke packed them in.

I think except for a few blue bloods and intense rivalry games, interest in college sports in general is waning, not just basketball. NIL and the accompanying frustrations with it are partly to blame. Fans don't even know who the team's players are from year to year because of the transfer portal.
In a lot of places, I think it has to do with the product on the court. It seemed like UNC had a really good crowd yesterday. UVA still draws well for weekend games, but it's significantly down for mid-week games. Weather may be partly responsible, but this is down noticeably more than usual.
