It looks like Michigan is the latest to be bit by the "declining student attendance" bug; MLive.com reported an expected drop of 5,000 to 6,000 in ticket purchases.
I guess that 23% hike in student ticket prices a year before a home slate that features no rivals wasn't the kind of bold marketing Dave Brandon promised.
It could also be Michigan fans are getting tired of watching a team that's barely above .500 play since 2006.
