I think it true, as one ages, one often starts to think Things are going to H, the young people today are awful.  Memories are short.

I suspect most here think CFB is being degraded, and I agree to an extent, but I wonder how much of that reflects our ages.  Maybe it's not THAT bad.

Maybe it's worse.
Well in-stadium attendance is trending down on a 20-year decline, young people aren't getting into the sport at the same rate as their older peers did, so I don't think this is a case where you can say "the old people just don't get it and the world has passed them by."

In stadium attendance could decline because some programs with large capacities have been "down" for 20 years, and their attendance has suffered.  Other programs that perhaps are doing well can't sell more tickets as they are at capacity.  And some places are reducing capacity to build more luxo boxes.

Geargia Tech is reducing capacity to build a student center, or something.

And it could be down because we have more programs competing at the "Division 1" level now and they tend to have low attendance.

In-stadium attendance numbers are down across the board, even at Alabama which certainly can't be accused of being "down" over the past 20 years.

Does "across the board" mean literally at every venue for every program?

Of course not.  It means on average in general... when you include programs like Alabama.

I am reminded of my Dad, who in his later years would go to McDonald's and meet up with 3-4 older men who would basically talk about how everything is going to H.  And yet, somehow, most stuff muddles along anyway.


Everything is going to where?
