And the Gators and FSU have both had terrible attendance numbers this year. A lot of empty seats at Doak for the UF-FSU game, that would have never happened up to a few years ago.
But College Football is dying, too, I think ESPN has taken a lot of air out of it. Also it’s a consequence of having a playoff system. Once teams are out of contention, fans lose interest.
that’s exactly right about the playoffs. It used to be there were a lot of things to play for, rivalries, conference championships, major bowl games. Now the only thing that counts is being in the final four, and you can pretty much predict two of the four before the season starts.
