I cannot speak for our ID. They sent #s w/ the ncaa's guidelines, the ncaa approve(s/d), done deal. Perhaps other depts should follow the guidelines before them in order to complete a task rightfully for their benefit ala APR related, et al. The ncaa allows for remote sites/venues to be counted, per their guidelines/verbiage.
The NCAA counts neutral site attendance in matchups of FCS vs. FCS teams. (something along the lines of a 2nd "home venue" rule)
