It is another drop but only at 1%, yet, bigger Stadiums will not be on books in the future. TV watching and streaming is just to comfortable to access and will only grow.

Programs with Big Stadiums and dependent on selling them out will find it more difficult versus Programs that just have 50,000 Attendance. The cost associated with such large stadiums attendance is going into spikes based on winning, and harder to maintain.
If Isis should be successful in attacking a Sporting Event and killing many people Attendance in College and NFL will even at a quicker decline. Mohammed attacked the Caravan's Economic Interests of Mecca and why he was defeated and had to sign a 10 year Truce not to do it, by the time those Ten Years had passed, he had so many followers he walked into Mecca without any opposition. Isis Radical Islam did it at a Soccer Event in Europe and no doubt will seek to do it in America and elsewhere. Sports are big Economic Tourism Business, and Tourism is the number 2 Employer in the world.
Still, TV & Property Rights Money will compensate Programs and 28 University Programs now Gross over $100 million and that makes it tougher to overcome in Conferences with great disparity now. Just in 2008 only Florida, Ohio State and Texas made $100 million. Today, $114 gap between Texas and Iowa State, $82 Bama and Missy State, $105 Gap between Ohio State and Rutgers.
SEC and Big Ten Conferences due to their Conference Networks are also running away with 18 Schools versus just 10 in ACC, Big-12, and Pac-12 combined? In time, this will cause problems for Programs in those Conferences! Part of that is big attendance but an Isis Attack could change it too and the trend is towards TV Markets and Branding with Great Coaching winning.
Good to see Pitt Chancellor Gallagher realizes why Pitt has to select the right People to move Pitt towards Top 25 Status. The days of any Athletic Director that cannot manage or decides all aspects of any Program are over if Fans are displeased. It also means, Schools spending millions on Coaches demand those Coaches win too!
