RE: NCAA 2017 Men's Basketball Average Attendance by Conference
Conf averages could be meaningful when negotiating the TV package for the conference, in the sense of being a proxy statistic for potential TV viewership of the conf games relative to other confs.
Interesting to me is to look at the top 3 for each:
ACC - Syracuse 21.2k (#2), Louisville 20.8k (#3), UNC 18.1k (#4)
Big East - Creighton 17.4k (#5), Marquette 13.7k (#19), Xavier 10.3k (#38)
Big Ten - Wisc 17.3k (#6), Maryland 16.6k (#7), Indiana 16.3k (#9)
Big 12 - Kansas 16.4k (#8), Iowa St 14.3k (#16), K-State 11.5k (#29)
PAC - Arizona 14.4k (#15), Utah 12k (#26), UCLA 11.2k (#32)
SEC - Kentucky 23.5k (#1), Arkansas 15.2k (#12), Tenn 13.6k (#20)
Couple things:
- what the heck is Nebraska doing up there at #11 with 15.4k ??? Good grief, Nebraska fans are so desperate to cheer for anything ... even a middling Big Ten bball program that hasn't ever won anything in their history.
- SD St and New Mexico have pretty nice attendances. Who knows, maybe one day they'll get a call up to a P5
