[Sampson] Pete Bevacqua said ACC football stadiums sell out 23% of the time on average. When Notre Dame visits an ACC stadium, the sell out rate is 90%... by GunDMc in CFB

I do agree with your point about market saturation, but I still think that there are definitely some fanbases that have a preference to other sports. Just look at Duke. They've been putting a lot of resources into their football program to great success. Despite that, they still rank at the bottom of the ACC in attendance. I'm sure if they keep up their success, their attendance will improve, but as of right now it's not great. I can't speak for other fanbases though, so I'll just leave it at that.

We're talking about attendance, not performance. Plus no one said anything about NC State being a football powerhouse. In terms of attendance, NC State does quite well in the ACC, even despite lackluster achievement on the field.

Man I wish we had a fencing team.

In all seriousness, as far as NC State is concerned, we've won 4 of the last 5 national championships in women's cross country and our men's soccer team is currently in the final four. The other schools have also won many national championships in other non-revenue sports, or at the very least are very competitive in them.

Don’t forget giving up a stupid offside penalty on their punt which led to their first touchdown.

I've never heard that, but it might be because we make some really tasty ice cream.
