MTSU

[center68]

With their average attendance lower than needed what is gonna happen if they don't get the required 15,000 a game. Will they moved back to 1-AA and if so will they go back to the OVC or another conference. I hope they can get that average attendace up but with the way things are looking it is not gonna happen.

I attend MTSU and I go to every home game and i wish that we were back in 1-AA back in the ovc VS our traditional rivals. I just wish they would get rid of McCullom he and his staff do not have a control of his team. i really hope they Go back to 1-AA before i graduate.

I know they were expecting 31,000 for Full House II and only got about 15,500 and this past weekend when Big Boi was there they only had roughly 17,000, 13,000 less than what they were expecting. I don't think we're going to meet the required 15,000 this year. I was told that if we don't get it this year we have to get it for the next 10 years in a row and if we don't one year the next we will drop back down. I don't really want to drop back down. I'm sure we could dominate down in 1-AA but I like playing against the bigger boys. Go Blue Go! :justwrestle:

honestly, i dont think this attendance mandate is gonna survive. too many mac teams would have to drop down because of this, a lot of the good ones too, just too much to risk with this, i think the ncaa is bluffing on this

I think it's a good rule... then again, ULM can handle it. Too bad, MTSU.

of course you think its a good rule. but if ULM fell on the short side on the stick i am sure you would feel the same way

Get butts in the seats and you don't have to worry about it. We do so thus I don't have to worry about it and thus I think it's a good rule. Pull your load or get out of the Sun Belt. (Sometimes, you should make friends to help you out with this...)

heres the thing: if you are gonna require x attendance over a period time for the football programs why dont you do it for basketball, baseball etc? the only purpose of this rule is to make money, plain and simple

If a team is good enough to be in D-IA they should be able to put x amount of people in the seats. Apparently for MTSU, that's a big IF.

I believe it will be hard for MTSU to stay 1A. Don't get me wrong, I love seeing them with the big boys, however, I think the program could get more recognition by being 1AA again in the OVC. With the Vandy rivalry being resumed over the next couple of seasons, it would be great to have MTSU in the OVC and then beat Vandy...that would be nice. Let MTSU build their program up in the OVC for a few years then try to be re-instated in 1A.

MTSU is headed back down, come to the OVC. They don't have a fan base just a bunch of band wagoners when they win and they aren't winning. Save the embarassment MTSU go back to Division I-AA.
