I wanted to like this article but it didn't address our stadium expansion (unless I missed it). You can't apply the 4 year average attendance for us and punish us for being under 20,000. Makes not sense.

Yeah, the 20k number is pretty arbitrary. Punishing ODU because their stadium only fits something like 19300 doesn't make sense either.

True, they didn't talk of the new stadium, but they did make mention of both us & ODU as likely to exceed the 20k mark if we were playing FBS opponents. In their final paring down of teams, at least we were included.

Wonder if they would include the playoff games in the average.

Holy Necrothread, Batman!

not to nitpick too much SB Ballard Stadium seats 21944. Wish we could play you in FB and MBB this year, but it doesn't look promising for BB, we have already passed on Spring Football
