Like I said in my original post highlighting OSU’s woeful attendance for the 2014-15 basketball season, there are a million ways to look at attendance in college athletics.
We already saw how OSU is trending compared to the Big 12 and NCAA in general (not good!), but what about as a percentage of filling up your arena?
Isn’t that probably the best way to see what a healthy basketball program looks like, all things being equal? Duke doesn’t draw a quarter of what Kentucky draws but nobody argues that those two programs aren’t equal.
So I pulled the capacities (here, I used the HS gym TCU played in for its attendance) and compared them to reported ticket sales.
