FLorida and FSU are a different story, northern Florida schools with true grassroots support. These are diehard fans who probably are not of the variety that can afford, again, to pay expensive ticket prices for fabulous teams. In my opinion, thats what separates a city like Miami from Detroit, because Detroit supports both its college and professional teams, whereas Miami doesn't support either.

I was trying to make a general point about Florida college sports in general. I was pondering on whether I should include a precursor to Miami in saying that while they do well in attendence, they only sell out for big games. They will never sell out a game against a North Carolina while teams like FSU and Florida would.
