Just curious (too lazy to look it up), what type attendance was UCF drawing prior too and during their 0-12 season? Like I said, just curious.

Not too long ago, UCF did something similar. I remember on Thurs night game, UCF cancel night classes so student can attend and letting all students in free. All students - meaning any HS students and any student in any college. Basically, begging people to come to Brighthouse.

yah this is fake news. First, when you have an on campus stadium classes are always cancelled for football games. Second, if we ever gave away tickets it definitely wasn't to a rivalry game. Probably to a game no one cares about like Memphis or austin peay

The only thing Memphis and Austin Peay have in common is that they're both located in the state of Tennessee. I hope that comment was made as a joke or in reference to the state of Memphis football between 2009-2013. They lead the conference in overall record from 2014- present. So, just stating facts. If your fanbase can't get excited for a matchup against Memphis, then this conference has no chance. Quite literally the only times you played a game in the last two seasons where you should have lost.

lmao more fake news. from your own link:

Tailgating and other related activities take over the parking lots and lawn of CHHS before each home game. For the safety and security of our building and its occupants, the CHHS building and Ernest Wilbur Building will lock at noon game days.

I know UH cancelled classes, have friends who go there. Same with VT. For illinois you cited a friday 8pm game...don't know anyone who has classes friday at 8pm but ok. We'll count this as irrelevant for this argument though. For wake forrest and coloardo I don't see anything about classes, just events around the football game and tailgating.

So thanks for posting all those links but looks like you got proven wrong yet again. UCF cancels classes starting at 3pm just like every other school with an on campus stadium. You do realize that people coming on campus to park and tailgate take up all the spaces that students would need to go to class right? Have you even been to a campus with an on campus stadium on a weeknight game before? If you haven't, should probably pipe down.

Heres a simple article anyone with google could easily find explaining why its necessary to cancel classes for weeknight football games at real schools.

Wow - talk about selective reading. The VT link literally says in bold "Classes will not be cancelled," but you have friends that go there, so that trumps any university missive. And same goes for Houston - I know several professors there who literally bitched about the students who didn't show EVEN THOUGH CLASSES WERE NOT CANCELLED, and the link points out what lots can't be used because of university business, but OK, your friends told you they cancelled classes...

Do a Google search on "classes cancelled game on campus." Other than results that show cancellations for fire/weather issues, the only two hits you get are UCF cancelling classes and Virginia Tech literally NOT cancelling classes.

Look, I understand the reasoning, but let's not act like everybody does it. When you manufacture reasons to try to rip USF, it ends up detracting for the things that we actually SHOULD be ripped for...

what you seemed to have selectively left off is that all of those reschedule or move classes....or give the professor the option to cancel class. In all of the links you sent the university offices closed as well.

Fact is it is common place to cancel or reschedule classes that occur during the game for schools with on campus stadiums. When UCF played at the citrus bowl we did not cancel classes. The original point was from a memphis fan saying we had to cancel classes and beg local high school students to come to a game because we had no fans. Clearly fake news.

He forgot to specify "commuter" schools with on-campus football stadiums. So my point about real universities not cancelling night class for weekday games is valid.

All this back and forth about cancelling classes is silly. The point is that usf won 11 games and finished ranked in 2016. Won 10 games and finished ranked in 2017. Start the season of 7-0 this year. They have been winning and winning a lot. And the whole time have had terrible attendance. I know they are on a 4 game slide, but when your biggest rival is coming to town, giving away tickets is shameful.

And yes they are giving them away. Dunkin probably paid pennies on the dollar for those tickets and paid for the thundersticks or something to strike this deal. Demand was through the roof so much that they opened the upper deck. You don't give tickets to Dunkin at a steep discount to hand out when ticket demand is that high. The problem was all the demand was coming from Orlando and the usf admins are scared, as they should be, that your rival is about to take over your rented stadium on the biggest home game you have had in 2 years.

Make fun of us and our stadium all you want. But we have built a tradition of winning and a football culture that the students and alumni want to be a part of ON CAMPUS. And until usf gets their heads out of their arses and makes the same investment, no win streak can save them from a bunch of empty seats and abysmal fan support.

And what you seem to have selectively left off is that I responded to KnightLight's statement that everyone with an on campus statement has to cancel classes, and I refuted that. Very different from giving a faculty member an option to do it. Maybe in your zeal to try to run down a USF fan, you could have actually READ that. Not everything a USF fan writes is incorrect, and not everything a UCF fan writes is correct. Just like (for my fellow USF fans), not everything a UCF fan writes is incorrect and not everything a USF fan writes is correct.

Similarly, the statement that "Those with rented stadiums have no clue what on-campus football games are all about...be it on a Saturday or a Thursday night" is just as ridiculous.

Good opportunity for usf fans to get free tickets and sell them to UCF fans.

Are they making the UCF band go to the 3rd level again?

I don't exactly consider a Google search the pinnacle of research, but I tried it out of curiosity:

University of Tennessee canceled:
http://www.sportingnews.com/us/ncaa-foot...9qm3g15bvo

Washington State canceled:
https://allcougdup.com/2013/05/16/washington-state-football-classes-cancelled-for-cougar-football-vs-asu/

I'm sure many more examples could be found given time to research, but I don't get the point of the argument anyway. I'm sure game cancellations are determined by a number of factors, including the expected attendance at the game, the location of the stadium in relation to the classrooms, the amount of available parking in proximity to the stadium, the number of classes scheduled for that night, etc. Some schools might cancel based on these factors, some might not, nothing wrong with it either way.

And same goes for Houston - I know several professors there who literally bitched about the students who didn't show EVEN THOUGH CLASSES WERE NOT CANCELLED, and the link points out what lots can't be used because of university business, but OK, your friends told you they cancelled classes...

Do a Google search on "classes cancelled game on campus." Other than results that show cancellations for fire/weather issues, the only two hits you get are UCF cancelling classes and Virginia Tech literally NOT cancelling classes.

Look, I understand the reasoning, but let's not act like everybody does it. When you manufacture reasons to try to rip USF, it ends up detracting for the things that we actually SHOULD be ripped for...

I don't exactly consider a Google search the pinnacle of research, but I tried it out of curiosity:

University of Tennessee canceled:

Washington State canceled:
https://allcougdup.com/2013/05/16/washington-state-football-classes-cancelled-for-cougar-football-vs-asu/

I'm sure many more examples could be found given time to research, but I don't get the point of the argument anyway. I'm sure game cancellations are determined by a number of factors, including the expected attendance at the game, the location of the stadium in relation to the classrooms, the amount of available parking in proximity to the stadium, the number of classes scheduled for that night, etc. Some schools might cancel based on these factors, some might not, nothing wrong with it either way.

Again, never said nobody did it. Refuted the notion that EVERYBODY did, which was the basis of the shot against USF...

Sounds like Fake News....must be CNN counting. You can go on the internet for attendance in 2015 and find pictures/videos of a fan sitting in a section by themselves or a girl River Dancing in a section and nobody around her.
