Subject: Re: Ivy Football a rather dull season Author: Go Green [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 09:31:35 11/02/09 Mon In reply to: Doggers 's message, "Re: Ivy Football a rather dull season" on 09:06:15 11/02/09 Mon 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.
