So.. in the Big Ten, there are a good number of schools hitting nice attendance numbers, capacity-wise.


Then there are these, as pointed out earlier:

Illinois: 45,644 (75 percent)
Rutgers: 44,804 (85 percent)
Minnesota: 43,814 (83 percent)
Indiana: 43,027 (82 percent)
Maryland: 39,615 (76 percent)
Northwestern: 34,798 (74 percent)
Purdue: 34,798 (60 percent)


I think it would be good if everyone could get to 90 percent. Illinois, Maryland, Northwestern and Purdue have a lot of work to do in this area. Rutgers, Minnie and Indiana are really close.

Fix this!! Most of these schools have stadiettes, so it shouldn't be that hard.
Rutgers Attendence on a steady decline:

2017: 39,749 (7 home games)
2016: 44,804 (7)
2015: 47,723 (7)
2014: 50,632 (6) (1st year in B1G and highest attendence in Rutgers history.)

Can we end the failed Rutgers experiment? This program is going backwards.

That's setting the bar pretty low.

But if that's the only threshold, then Toledo should get an invite, and nobody wants that  :57:
