<br>
What factors correlate most strongly and most negatively with FBS attendance? To answer this broad question, in Parts I and II we analyzed 11 years of historical attendance data. Then, in Part III we took a closer look at correlations for attendance performance over the past three seasons (2010-2008). Last, in Part IV we explore strategies for scheduling non-conference opponents as a lever to impact ticket sales. ]]></description>
