Not saying you specifically, but people have got to get over this attendance crap....

I remember being in the OB when we were ranked # 1 and there would be empty seats in the upper deck.

It doesn't equal to wins or prove anything.... Ask Nebraska how its worked out for them the last decade or more.

Michigan attendance was always high even during the Rich Rod / Brady Hoke years

It doesn't equal wins but I believe it definitely effects recruiting for certain players. Not everyone cares about playing in front of a big crowd but there are some players who do and want the big college gameday experience.
 
Watched the Notre Dame game. My daughter goes there and I spend some time there because of that. Hartman is a huge pickup for them and they are probably a little better than the #10 spot where most will have them ranked. Weird spot for me with them now, but I am getting old can handle it. 🙃

I would love to see a blind survey and where that ranks in importance for recruits...

Ex: Proximity to home, Majors, NIL Opportunities, Coaching, Development, Campus Environment, Gameday experience...etc..

My gut tells me its towards the bottom with a majority, obviously not all

I would say it's probably near the bottom. Maybe 15-20% of the kids or so. Where you run into a problem is what if one of the recruits who actually cares is a blue chip 5 star prospect and is very interested in Miami but decides to go Georgia, Ohio State, LSU and etc because they want to play in front of 80K fans and have the college football experience. At the end of the day it's a box that recruit's can check off their list.

Wouldn't be surprised if there are some "scripted" plays to make them look better than they are

Spring games are hype games, nothing more. There's absolutely no way Deion is going to let his son go out there and flop or let the offense struggle in a hype game, in front of 40k fans. He'd send his D out in a goal line just so the offense can score and he could get brownie points for yelling at the D for giving it up, before he'd let that happen.

The lack of attendance at Miami games never made a lot of sense to me, there are soo many canes fans out there and like 10 million people in South Florida yet we struggle to fill up even 80% of the stadium unless it's a big game. The one thing we actually do well is travel, you always see a ton of canes fans at road games.

It was on a Friday night in Broward. No one was going to that.

Then go to those schools. Miami will never have a college gameday experience that could rival actual college towns so they should do the best they can and market that it’s an nfl town with many business opportunities in the off season instead of Bubbas Used Cars in bum**** Gainesville.

The Surprising Factors Driving College Football Recruits' College Decision

Less than two months from today, eighteen-year-old men will sit behind tables across the country and sign letters on national television designating where they will attend college and play football. College football recruiting has become a big business, with the likes of ESPN nationally...

From a local Bama reporter:

If Saturday's scrimmage showed anything, it's that Alabama's quarterback competition needs the extension of a continued offseason and the definitive arena of fall camp. Both quarterbacks look gifted, and at the same time look like they need more work. Timing needs work. On the other end of the throws, dropped passes need work, too.

For now, and that means for the next four months, there's no indication that the job is anyone's to lose.
