Attendance problems plague Falcons

Ever since BG got a warning letter from the NCAA to meet the I-A attendance requirements, fans have been worried. In the past, the focus of the effort was to get teams to drop to I-AA, which is not in play now. However, if BG does not make the requirement this year, then it goes on probation, and any year in which it doesn't meet the requirement in the future, we will not be bowl eligible. This is obviously, therefore, a concern. Naturally, the whole effort is riddled with stupid rules and loopholes--it is the NCAA after all.

Jack Carle of the Sentinel did a story with AD Greg Christopher on what BG will do in its final game next week to meet the requirement.
