But the money was in the bank, the people just didn't show up for all the games, big difference there.
This is classic squawk logic at work. Oh, well we're not a football school, so it's perfectly understandable why we don't have many at the spring game, and why we have the cheapest season tickets in the Big 12 and still rarely sell out.
But KSU is suppossed to stuff Bramlage the very first year under a new basketball coach, even though again, nearly 13,000 season tickets were sold.
Average attendance at ku . . . that HUGE basketball school for Larry Brown's first season on the job: 11,587 . . . over 4,000 under capacity. Larry Brown's 2nd season on the job: 13,301 . . . over 2500 under capacity (remember now ku is a HUGE basketball school, just rabid fans over there). In Larry Brown's 3rd season at ku (now keep in mind, ku has fielded 3 straight NCAA tourney teams under Brown, and had been to the NCAA tourny 4 times in 6 years, no 17 years of bad basketball here) ku averaged: 14,202 per game . . . 1600 under capacity. Now get this, over this timeframe, ku had gone 45-2 at home. That's FORTY FIVE and F'ING TWO . . . and the place STILL wasn't sold out and stuffed to the rafters until FOUR years into Brown's tenure.
