College Grid Crowds Down as Winners Profit in Gate Receipts
An AP survey shows a general attendance decline across 566 home games by 116 major college teams, yet many schools with gains in gate receipts posted winning seasons. Duke, Wisconsin, Florida, and Stanford bucked the trend, while Indiana drew more fans despite a poor record. Conference gains appeared in the Atlantic Coast, Southern, and a touch in the Skyline, with overall attendance slipping from 12,926,810 to 13,731,208 for the comparable games.
