Could discontent with football be affecting BBall attendance?

[QUOTE="xWVU2010x, post: 129491038, member: 1467482"] When I was there the program was solid for 4 years including the Final Four year, the average fan just never gave a crap unless the opponent could justify a court storming, or the opponent was Pitt, or the game was in a conference/NCAA tournament. This year appears to be the same but weather ruined the attendance on the KU game. There is also the issue of our arena seating ,14,000, which is very big for a college arena, and the difficulty of getting to Morgantown. For football a big chunk of the 50-60k of fans who show up are out of towners that come in for the weekend, that crowd does not really exist in basketball so it is on the students/Morgantown locals to make up the difference, I think that is asking a lot of the 30,000 or so residents + 30,000 students to fill up 14,000 seats consistently.
