Heck they draw almost 5000/game for baseball. Drew, if about 9000/game is compelling to you, come and check out what 13,000/game is like, with over 15,000 when things are rolling.
That last part is the problem -- "when things are rolling".
There's no indication that things will be rolling at Illinois anytime soon. Picked #13 out of 14 in conference to start this season, and while the year after promises to be much better, the national perception about Illinois is that we're a "meh" program with no real buzz.
Not that aTm is Kentucky or Duke, but 2 Sweet Sixteens in 3 years is quite a contrast to a program that hasn't even danced for 5. And it's closer to home. Frankly, if any of us were in his shoes, it would be hard to pick a school like Illinois over Texas A&M. Hope I'm wrong.
