Notice the reason- the impact on future recruits.

Fans leaving early because they're bored of blowouts (mind you there are still more butts in seats there than 95 percent of college football) what a terrible problem to have. Something tells me that those crystal balls, immaculate facilities and Saban players getting rich in the NFL has far more impact on recruits than having only 90,000 fans in a 100,000 seat stadium.

Told you so, this is a major problem at Bama. If Bama gets ahead by 2 touchdowns then the Greeks are gone to their Frat Houses to drink. And, you just thought it happened at SMU,well it's just about happening at about every school in the south (except aTm).

I'd re-check your math!

75K, 80K? Some other number that's bigger than the overwhelming majority of college football stadia?

STOP LEAVING EARLY!!!!!! WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

I'd tell him I will leave when I want, he can feel free to cash his 5M salary check or not - his choice.

if 'Bama quit bullying other teams, maybe the fans would stay for a close game…ahem.

When you are up by 40 most of the time it is kind of tough to stay until the end for some.

If they were arriving late I would figure it was because they were watching the end of our 11:00 games, but I have no explanation for them leaving early.

Maybe Alabama should put a competitive product on the field

Everybody knows Alabama is a basketball school

It's the same problem as tcu...everyone is in the concourses

don't play Georgia State and Colorado St when you have the No. 1 recruiting class 3 years running

Notre Dame students remain. Partly due to close games and also because there is no Greek System there.
