doesn't winning seasons on a regular basis grow attendance and fan support?

Exactly, you win then the fans come. Fans wait to see you win before they come down. They had a good year two years ago, so excitement and support was up going into last year. I imagine season ticket sales saw a little spike last year. Season tickets are bought before fans know whether you will have a good year or a bad year. Plus they started the year out undefeated which kept excitement into the conference schedule. Fan excitement is down this offseason from what it was last offseason, so I would imagine early fan support will struggle. Luckily we have some bigger names coming in to alleviate that problem. Consistently we have been winning and that brings more of your casual fans year-to-year as it increases fan support. Seven years ago the casual fans were indifferent as to our program and attendance showed. Now the casual fans are back, the trick is getting them into the arena. Winning does that and a good schedule does that.
