Since it seems like a common practice by many to do that in college sports, is the same true for schools like UK, UL and Syracuse?

 

I'm thinking they all try to make the numbers look as strong as possible. Just easier to count to 50 than to 21,000.

I look at the attendance numbers for my son's games and they seem to be inflated as well.

EVERY school does it the same way, tickets out and then a gentle massage. Just for fun, I wish the NCAA would mandate EVERYONE release turnstile info -- that would be fun (and will never happen).

I have a feeling the Cincinnati Reds have a similar practice. There were a couple games this year that I had no clue how they announced the number they did.

Pro Sports are different, they are always tickets distributed, no massaging.

John Cooper was an AWFUL basketball hire. I'm sure the Miami administration enjoyed the close up of one of the guys they didn't hire.

 

And one of the guys I don't think they recruited.

In baseball they announce tickets SOLD, so season ticket holders are still counted.

All teams pad b-ball counts. If you want to see some padding check out the Miami O vs Ball State football game tonight and then see what the announced attendance is.
