Interesting thread I came across recently:

I like starcity2's math. He took a poll of about a hundred people and converted those percentages of who would buy tickets to quantify the revenue earning potential. It seemed like there were only a few people that were lacrosse savvy on the board. I think they should crawl before they walk. Get the club prgram up and running and test pilot against a talented team. Give that a shot and see what kind of crowd you draw. It's definitely food for thought as more schools in the upper midwest convert to D-1

What's wrong with that? Clearly the percentage of people from a self-selected sample answering an online poll will exactly match the population in general, right? There's no possible source of bias. That whole "random sample" thing is for losers.

Or the fact that it is a student message board. Surely his figues reflect what the community, neighboring states, and continent as a whole would do
