Speaking only for Kentucky, I would say that increased ticket prices, one and done fatigue on the fan base, the fact that the upper arena is extremely uncomfortable, and the fact that people can sit at home and watch on affordable huge HD TV's have all played a role.

I agree with the one and done fatigue. Years ago when I liked Kentucky, I was a young lad and could name every player on the team. I would follow them year to year until senior day at Rupp which was a huge deal. Then I couldn't wait for the barn storming tour of Kentucky. The times of Melvin Turoin, Sam Bowie, Jim Master, Dicky Beal, and Kenny Walker are long gone. I'm no longer a UK fan, but I couldn't tell you a single player on the team now.
