The expected attendance for the Alabama game proves that Tampa will come out for USF games when we play opponents with popular appeal. The American conference no longer features any of those.

True, but USF has a large number of students. Is it 50,000 now ( I am not sure) with most living in Tampa? Also a large number of alum living all over the United States and all over the world. I

It appears we are in a conundrum , we need to get in a better conference to save the program but we can’t get into a better conference because we are awful and haven’t shown we are worthy of being in

I'm a Pitsburgh Pirates fan.  If instead of playing major league teams, they were allowed to play minor league teams, don't you think.....nevermind, nobody goes to their games anyway.

Pittsburgh attendance woes aside, I usually appreciate analogies but prefer reality based ones ..... and that one wasn't.

It does matter who you play, virtue aside.

I guarantee the team I coached was a helluva lot more fun to watch when we played a great opponent....family came out for those games and these are their kids.  No one wants to see **** teams no matter how big a fan you claim to be, even many parents.  For you, it may not matter who we play, but "real" USF fans do consider the quality of the opposition.  And that's okay.

Apparently it doesn't to a lot of our fans ... and nothing to do with virtue, just fandom ... and those USF fans that care more about who USF is playing than USF itself are almost as bad as those parents who don't go to watch their own kids play unless they're playing a great opponent. That's ****** up.

You don’t need it to be a realistic option in the MLB, but it’s just exactly what it is in college football.  The range in talent in FBS is significantly greater than the talent in MLB, no doubt.

It’s not, and you should realize your feelings aren’t fact.  
 

Even in high school, there’s more attendance for games where your school is playing better opponents, then weaker opponents. It’s a fact.  A **** fact.

It wasn't realistic because you're comparing a mythical scenario of a major league team playing minor league teams to the reality of a minor league team playing minor league teams.

From a STL fan, that's what they get for canning Clint Hurdle. I get they were on a downslide but he was the man. Took that turd of an organization (lately) to relevancy.

Alright. They were good back in the day

I didn't say it wasn't a fact. I said it was ****** up that parents are going to watch their own kids play based on the opponent ..... I guess it's the old fashioned coming out.

Crowds are pretty sparse at minor league stadiums for games between minor league teams

Mythical.  Ok

I’m asking you to consider it wasn’t “mythical” but an equivalent comparison “theoretically” ….maybe?
