<p>Does this happen? How about baseball or soccer? I was talking to a guy who played basketball for one of the Claremont colleges and he said nobody even went to the games. </p>

<p>He also said Caltech would have a problem beating a good middle school basketball team. :)</p>

<p>Williams-Amherst football games in Williamstown sometimes draw close to 10,000, but wouldn’t sell-out - there would still be room to stand somewhere. Students line up early to get into Williams-Amherst basketball games too (these games do sometimes sell out).</p>

<p>It is sadly true that most D III schools don’t draw well anymore. ESPN kind of killed their attendence. College sports fans would rather sit in their dorm rooms watching Duke/ carolina than walk down the hill to see their D III school play. I know at one time Hope & Calvin (Michigan) drew the best in basketball. The small private schools tend to draw pretty well in footbal …i went to Westminster Pa. & we drew very well!</p>

<p>dstark, I believe Grinnell sells out their Men’s BBall. It’s supposed to be a riot. Makes the old LMU teams look like slow-down. LOL.</p>

<p>I did catch a glimpse of Grinnell on ESPN2 and they were fun to watch.</p>

<p>ESPN should show more division 3 games on tv.</p>
