Baylor should be so embarrassed that they are behind TT

 

[CycloneErik]

Baylor needs smaller tarps?


Texas and Oklahoma surprise me. They have looked very empty in the games I've seen, and those aren't 50,000 seat arenas.

 

[BringBackJohnny]

There is no way that is how many people are actually in the building at some of those places

Yeah, I'm surprised they are both above OSU, but OSU is gaining some ground, they had some empty games at the beginning.

It would be nice if everyone else could start filling up their arenas. That's the one thing the Big 10 really does have on us, people show up to games. The rest of the conference (ie everyone but KU/KSU/and us) really need to start pulling their weight attendance wise. That WVU/Texas game on ESPN was embarrassing for the conference.

If those numbers are for the entire year, there's no way ISU is averaging that many either. I think they just look at tickets sold.

 

[cyman05]

On TV it looked like Tech had 2-3k for our game in Lubbock.

 

[2020cy]

Texas has to be based on tickets sold, not butts in the seats for sure.

That's something the Big10 has on everyone else. Pac 10, ACC, SEC are worse than Big 12 in attendance.

 

[BringBackJohnny]

Big 12 has too many schools in smaller metro areas and the schools in the Big 10 are often much bigger in size than Big 12 schools.

Things could be worse. We could be in the SEC.

except for iowa

The PAC is bad too. I heard Bill Walton ripping on UCLA's fans a week ago for their attendance. It was pretty comical but I could tell he was ******.

College towns are what make the Big12 great. Colleges in metro areas don't have nearly the same affect as most Big12 schools do.


Kansas (16,466)
Iowa State (13,209)
Kansas State (12,547)
Texas (11,037)
Oklahoma (9,601)
Oklahoma State (9,383)
West Virginia (8,771)
Texas Tech (7,674)
Baylor (6,774)
TCU (4,684)


Based on enrollment only Baylor actually has 44.58% of their enrollment at each game, good for 4th in the conference. ISU has 42.55% of the enrollment at each game, good for fifth. KU, KSU, and TCU actually have over 50% enrollment at each game. Worst is Texas at 21.56%

edit 2 - just ran a weighted average and based on enrollment and metro population of each school KSU comes out as the best support. KU 2nd and ISU 3rd.

Worst again is Texas.

OU and Texas should be the most embarrassed. Just a sign of how the big programs have fair weather fans. How can you justify getting 80-100,000 people to buy tickets for football games but you can't fill up an arena 1/10 the size for bball games. Nebraska is another good example of this, what make that worse is Creighton gets 10k+ huskers fans at every home game, so they are bball fans, just not of the school they claim is the heart and soul of the state.

So was the BU/ISU game, I would be surprised if there were 1000 people there.

Actual fans in the building I'm positive WVU would jump Texas, OU and maybe OSU. They're either too honest with their numbers or they have a smaller arena than I thought.

 

[MrPeske]

Comparing the tickets to the arena capacity would show that Texas is close to 60% as it holds 16734... Lamehorns....

I agree but I wouldn't put them as bball fans just fans of a winner.
