Total attendance figures for the '95 NCAA football season
were the second best in history.  The grand total for all 565
NCAA teams was 35,637,784, a drop of 822,112 from last year's
record setting total of 36,459,896.  Div I-A programs accounted
for 72% of the '95 totals.  Bad weather on several weekends was
cited for the dropoff, especially in divisions below I-A,
according to the NCAA.  Individually, Michigan won its 22nd
consecutive attendance title with an average of 103,767 per game
(Richard Campbell, NCAA NEWS, 1/8 issue).  Div 1-A conference
