We've averaged in the 8k/game range for students, almost every year, since the expansion. There are maybe 20/25 student sections nationally which have done better over the same period of time. Yes, there have been some bad showings due to atrocious weather (Wisc) or play (Nebraska) the last couple years, and this season has been sub-par for a slew of reasons - legit or otherw - but this comment is so far off base it's shocking. The premise of the entire thread, as well, IMHO.
That being said I agree wholeheartedly that the students are in the wrong should they "protest,l and hurt their fellow classes doing so, come Saturday.
