Just to add evidence to support my attendance point stated below. Vanderbilt (3-5) vs Arkansas (2-6) had an attendance number of 56,245 in Razorbacks Stadium which has a capacity of 76,000.
Contrast Wazzu vs Stanford, two ranked teams fighting for first place in the North, 39,596 (yeah, right 🙄 more like 20,000). Stanford Stadium capacity 50,000.
That’s why the SEC gets more money than the PAC12.
I agree I think that is why they get more money. Personally I think the attendance issue is due to the fact that there is just more to do out west. Lifestyles are more active and like I said there is just more to do all around. Luckily for us it’s not a negative attendance issue it’s a positive one.
