The "Notre Dame Effect"
The "Notre Dame Effect"
When Notre Dame came to town in 2015....
----Virginia's season attendance jumped 29% which was the biggest increase among P5 schools. 58,200 people attended the game and by far their largest attendance of the season. Last year's average attendance was 39,320. The worry is that they will not be sble to sustain that next year.
----Pittsburgh set an attendance record for Heinz field-68,400. Their second largest crowd was for their opener with Youngstown State - 49,949. Pitt's average season attendance jumped 17%.
----Clemson had its largest crowd of the season - 82,415 in what some called the biggest game in Clemson history. Rooms averaged $599 a night with a two night minimum. Some rooms went for $1000-1500 a night.
----In non-ACC away games, Temple set an attendance record, garnering a 18.1 TV rating in Philadelphia - the highest rated regular season viewership in Philadelphia history.
----The Notre Dame-Stanford game set records "The FOX broadcast network saw its highest-rated and most-watched regular season game ever" with more than 7.3 million viewers. Stanford had its largest home attendance of the season (tied with the Cal game).
----Boston College - To get a BC ticket for the Shamrock Series game at Fenway (37,400 capacity), you had to have donated $5,000 or $100,000 in your lifetime. You could donate $25,000 to BC for four tickets to the game. Otherwise, season ticket holders could enter a lottery. The total spending impact was $22.2 million - 14 times the average regular season Red Sox game of $1.6 million.
Overall, FBS attendance in 2014 dropped to its lowest in 14 years, down 4% from the previous year. In 2015, FBS attendance was down 1% from 2014.
In the two ACC away games last year,
----Florida State's average attendance in 2014 was up by 6,790 fans. In 2015, FSU has seen one of the steepest declines in FBS - down 11%.
----Syracuse's attendance jumped 6% in 2014 and fell 29% in 2015.

Miami Hurricanes Football: Mark Richt Sends Players Packing
Miami used to have twenty-two or so verbals preseason has seen twelve decommitments (one recommitted) and no commitments during the regular season. Of those, three RB prospects and three WR prospects decommitted. Richt has gotten two more verbals, but their current class sits at fourteen verbals.

Florida State signee Shavar Manuel working on eligibility
Those on-line courses are a "grind". I just don't see a Stanford offer. Nine SEC offers though.

Yup. It was self reported, and only a secondary violation, so I won't bitch too much... Just more fodder for those that believe that NC will always get off easy from the NCAA though.

This really sucks for soooo many reasons
Florida State's awful season (5-7) this year has been attributed in large part to their porous and ineffective Offensive Line. One win was over a FCS team. A thirty-six year bowl streak has come to an end in Willie Taggart's first season. The combined point differential in losses to Clemson, Florida and Notre Dame was one hundred points.
FSU was last in the conference in:
- Rushing Offense (2.69 yds/carry)
- First downs (16.5 per game)
- Third down conversions
- Tackles for loss allowed
and second to last (to L'ville) in
- total offense
- sacks allowed
- red zone conversions
FSU was last in the conference in Turnover Margin.
Three Offensive linemen are out of eligibility. Six more are eligible for the Draft. Four of those six are listed as second string to the current bad offensive linemen. How many of those remain at FSU is not clear yet.
Help does not seem to be on its way. Their 2018 class include three OL commits. The two OTs were ranked as 29th and 57th at their position. The OG was ranked as 14th. The 2019 class has one offensive lineman at this time, an OG ranked sixth. Three other OL prospects have FSU in their final group, usually comprised of Alabama, Florida or Miami, etc. Only one, a highly rated (#6) OG, has crystal balls to FSU.

Just in case you weren't sure if fsu is a trash-ass university that would do *anything* to have football success:

Obviously Willie didn't have the "Don't Hit Women" Rule posted like Charlie Strong did at louisville.

Don't care for Clemson, but I found this amusing:
https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/27210310/swinney-showcases-lineman-qb-stunt-double
Swinney knew that the media would want to talk to QB Lawrence for the ACC Kickoff media event, but Swinney has a policy of not allowing any players attend unless they're upperclassmen set to graduate. Instead of having Lawrence show up, he had Offensive Guard John Simpson wear a blond wig and pretend to be Lawrence. Of course this pissed off the media and fans, but I thought it was funny:

Agree that's funny; media days are so monotonous IMO, have a damn sense of humor.
