There are numerous causes for declining attendance. Most were discussed by Carm Cozza in his autobiography.

TV is indeed a factor. Student demographics is another big one. Increased competition in some localities for the casual fan is also an issue. There was a time when schools like Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, and Penn were the kings for local football coverage, but they've since been displaced by other schools in that regard.

For decades thru the seventies Yale "was college football" in Conn. As for the present, if you were a non alum (or maybe even an alum) would you rather go see UConn play Notre Dame or Yale play Brown.
