And seven of those who finished ahead of us are historically black schools that undoubtedly played "home" games off campus in large cities with significant African-American populations. Those games are important community events in the South that date back to the brutal days of complete racial segregation. In "on-campus" only games, we probably are still in the top ten in attendance, which might well be a reflection of the state of FCS football across the nation.

Wick, interesting point you bring up as usual
YSU1:
Minus the VINDY and lack of promotion of YSU's sports I would think our attendance will decline some more.

Thanks. The simpletons almost drove me from this site, but I decided to just ignore them. I will occasionally share information with those that have the capacity to comprehend intelligent discourse.

Boy 1AA, I knew you have pretty important persons on your blog, but this almost reads like POTUS Trump is a member! Blacks in black towns don't count when you are figuring attendance for black schools? Maybe we should count them as 3/5ths of a white person like the US Constitution did?

Way to completely miss what he was saying there champ. Where did he remotely infer that black fans didn't or shouldn't count?
What he was actually saying was, a lot of the HBCU games are rivalry games that are held in bigger cities where they can draw upon a larger pool of fans. And he's right.

The Bethune Cookman vs Florida A&M game had drawn 70k plus at the Camping world stadium(citrus bowl) in Orlando.
