Hope yo show is right . We will be able to tell by next game attendance.
You can choose to believe me or not but I was there. Stadium looked pretty full (but that is probably also because the seating on the east side is closed). In any case, I cannot promise you it will be that full for the next home game. After today's performance I'm not sure you will see a crowd like today again (although I hope for the team's sake they do)
But honestly the core of loyal YSU fans that know that Butler is non scholarship is pretty small. I think most casual fans in the area probably just think it’s a bummer that they lost the home opener. I wouldn’t be that surprised to see a big crowd against Valpo... depending on the weather.
Ah but the Vindicator and the Tribune have identified that they are non-scholarship. Even while his column said to put down the pitchforks, Ed Pukas drew parallels between YSU's loss and Michigan vs App State (coincidentally YSU's loss occuring on the anniversary of that game and because it probably is just as big a loss in comparison with Butler being non scholarship).
I guess my point is, while I agree many did not know before, if they read the paper, they know now.
