I think the ACC attendance problem is two fold. First being that I believe people would show up if there were 2 relevent teams that were top 5 like the Big 12 and SEC had, and then secondly, most ACC schools are quite a bit smaller in enrollment and at least a 3rd of the schools are private schools so they dont have the fan bases that the more traditional SEC schools have. I dont think location is really that big of a deal. I'd much rather go to Tampa than Charlotte this time of year and a airlines ticket there can be had for next to nothing. The biggest issue is all the teams are average teams and fans that arent fans of the school(just wanting to see good football) arent going to waste their money going to see two sorry ass teams like VT and BC.
