No mystery at all. College football attendance is in decline because of television coverage. TV covers almost every game which makes attendance optional for fans, and TV forces the schedule into odd and inconvenient time slots that are less desirable to attend.

There are other factors, such as the growth of professional sports, the rise of ticket prices, etc., but I suspect that all of them put together make very little difference compared with the corrupting influence of TV.
