December 8, 20169 yr Everybody said they wouldn't win many games this year also. Not everybody. Some of us said they could be .500, and I still think so.
December 8, 20169 yr I thought closer to 1000. It's a big place and it doesn't look like a lot of people, but they are spread out.
December 8, 20169 yr 1,965 announced Sad........the Dixie/Scott, Holmes/Cooper, & NewCath/CovCath triple-header there in January will double that total easily.
December 8, 20169 yr Maybe they need a cheerleader like Thunder Dan and Colangelo at Grand Canyon. Similar timing on going D1. At least they have 3 pages on BGP. That's a start!
December 9, 20169 yr I think with UK, UofL, Xavier, UC, IU, Ohio State, etc. being so close and all drawing well, that many have a distorted perception of how college basketball at the mid-major D-1 level actually draws. NKU averaged 2,296 fans last year. Here are some other teams of note: EKU - 2,034 Murray - 3,266 Morehead - 2,920 Western - 3,671 Miami - 1,426 Ball State - 2,763 Bowling Green - 2,261 Akron - 3,351 Tennessee Tech - 1,864 Tennessee State - 2,500 Belmont - 2,536 Lipscomb - 1,794 East TN State - 3,065 Detroit - 2,121 Milwaukee - 2,667 Youngstown State - 2,013 Valpo - 3,572 Cleveland State - 1,911 Oakland - 3,097 Certainly there are mid-majors in our geography that draw well Ohio U (6,010) was one I noticed and I think everyone would love to see NKU draw better; however, they are not alone or even an outlier in their struggle to attract fans.

Interesting info. I agree with what you say.
