Prairie View A&M University football led the Southwestern Athletic Conference and ranked eighth in attendance nationally in the Football College Subdivision (FCS), according to numbers released Thursday by the NCAA.

In 2017, the Panthers averaged 17,803 for five home dates, including the State Fair Classic in which Prairie View A&M was the home team last season. The NCAA counts neutral site attendance in matchups of FCS vs. FCS teams.

Among HBCUs, only Florida A&M (19,048 avg., four games) had a higher attendance.

Montana led the FCS in attendance (23,535 avg., six), followed by James Madison (21,724, nine), Florida A&M, and Yale (18,940, five).

No, you only count your home stadium. The NCAA knows that.

So why did they report this? In 2017, the Panthers averaged 17,803 for five home dates, including the State Fair Classic in which Prairie View A&M was the home team last season. The NCAA counts neutral site attendance in matchups of FCS vs. FCS teams.

Is that an official NCAA report? I don't think so. That's pretty much a fan site.

where does it say that? REGARDLESS, they didnt check. PV simply reported it the wrong way and they put it in there.

A simple e-mail would correct this.

I mean, you all should be embarrassed to even let this ride. If FAMU, JSU, SU, GSU counted our neutral site games, PV wouldn't be first. Those games are NOT allowed to be counted. Never have been. The NCAA has a SEPARATE column for neutral site games on the attendance sheet.

I would hope your alumni is not spreading this fake news.

I hope you know that's last year's report... LOL

and Im not even debating who is right or wrong here. You averaged 8400 fans.

That is not debatable.

and yes, I know that THE NEW number came from the NCAA but the NCAA obviously missed the error when PV reported it. I'm not debating that either. It's an official number but that does not change the fact that it was a mistake. If it's NOT a mistake, they need to go back and add all of the other neutral site games. BUT why do that? Neutral site games should not and CAN NOT count for home attendance. Why should JSU count our game in Memphis as a home game? That makes no sense!

Your school just so not used to nothing that you dont know how this works. The attendance leaders in this conference have been up and down this road many times. If that game was allowed, why PV never used it before?

I know why? lol

Let's hope it was either an honest mistake by PV to report it as a home game or an oversight by the NCAA not to catch the mistake. Regardless, PV should contact the NCAA to correct the mistake rather than send around fake news.
