You have reached your Jake moment. Everyone understands your position. I believe the university is following the proper procedure for disclosing attendance figures as currently outlined by the NCAA. Perhaps you should bring up this discussion with them. @DIG Your observations about paid and actual attendance is correct. They should mandate both figures in the official box scores. I believe Akron would have a hard time doing so. At soccer matches, the scanner at the gate I enter never works. They always tear the stub.
