It's like anything else in sports - if the product sucks people won't show. If the product is superior they will. KU had to turn away 5,000 folks from a basketball scrimmage and a throng of angry people barged the doors knocking people to get in.
I do go back to your point though about TV providing too good a home environment to watch sports. Good or not I could not justify devoting 6-8 hours very often for a Kansas football game (4 hour games are too long + drive time etc). The NFL keeps it to 3 hours plus most fans live relatively close to their stadiums whereas college towns are so far away in many cases. Uphill battle for KU and I predict, many college football teams, to ever fill seats IMO regardless if they are good or not.
