Why Students Aren’t Going to College Football Games

"The problem is particularly evident among students, who aren’t buying tickets like generations past. For the upcoming season, the University of Michigan, the winner of no fewer than 11 national championships and 42 conference crowns, projects that student attendance will hit around 13,000—a shocking 40% less than the figure hit last year (roughly 19,000).
It’s not just a problem in Ann Arbor.

The Wall Street Journal reported that student attendance fell 7.1% from 2009 to 2013, and that it has even fallen over the past few years at games hosted by perennial powerhouses such as Ohio State, Michigan State, Florida State, LSU, and the University of Florida.
A year ago, observers took note that home attendance was down for the majority of teams in the SEC, even though the conference has thoroughly dominated college football in recent years.
The two most frequently cited reasons for the ticket slump are simply: 1) higher ticket prices; and 2) less interesting games. 
A student season ticket package at Michigan, for instance, now costs $295, up from $205 not long ago.
There are only six homes games in the package, mind you, so that breaks down to just under $50 per game.
