A recurring topic of discussion on these OGBoards:

Announced attendance: Formulaic science for sporting events

All of which raises the question of what the NCAA, or any league, conference or organization offers as a policy or guideline on how attendance should be reported. Apparently not much.

The Atlantic Coast Conference has no official position on the subject, and instead relies on what can be found on page 18 of the NCAA Statistics Policies and Guidelines. "Attendance figures for official box scores and/or NCAA reports can be calculated by turnstile account, tickets sold or estimates. NCAA championship tournament figures always are compiled by tickets sold.''
 
Refreshing that Carolina was completely candid about it

Yep, still love those 2000 fans in the East stands in back to back years for La Monroe & Presbyterian and we show over 26,000 & 27,000 as our official attendance. Our West stands weren't 2/3 full and the entire place is listed as 30,500 for capacity. That's OK, when you come out and say you are giving the students 2750 total tickets and count them in your official attendance count, that says it all.
 
 
Reff, can you go ahead and setup a web server to share your C drive with us so that we can see that picture? Thanks.

That is part of the State Farm email stuff. I wish I could set this type photo stuff up, but technology is not my forte, but the photo I have is from the mid-1st quarter of the La Monroe game of the East side showing about 2000 fans sitting over there. Racer, how do I set up a C drive for this? I have photos & stuff on this computer & they are jpeg. We have to send them for applications and things.

Honestly the easiest thing to do is use an imgur account.
After you set up an account. There will just be a button to upload photos, after the photo is uploaded it will provide you with a link that you can use to share the picture here.

What was Daniel Morbitzer's response to your email?

Have no idea what you are talking about but I got these numbers off the official Wake Forest website and Daniel hasn't worked at Wake in 2 years.
