Here's how impressive that number is compared to other schools:
Ohio State draws 100,189 fans at its spring game. Wow. Only five FBS teams (incl. Buckeyes) averaged more per game in 2015.

100,189 in attendance for a glorified practice at Ohio Stadium...but scholarships for these kids are enough.

I suppose nobody will ever be happy as long as the NCAA exists except. Those Buckeye fans look pretty happy though.
