John Vargo, the former sportswriter and now our ace promotional director (take that any way you like,) retweeted information about mid-major home basketball average attendance in northeastern Ohio and western Pennsylvania. I checked the figures on the MAC site and updated the YSU attendance to reflect last weekend. It looks like this:
2815 YSU
1935 Akron
1859 KSU
1770 CSU
I found this to be stunning, considering that Akron and Kent have been consistently good for decades. It signifies two things: the enormous negative impact of ESPN+ on game attendance. And the fact that the fan bases in Akron and Kent are absolutely pathetic. For all our complaining, you can see that YSU fans remain the best in our little corner of the world.
