Message: [QUOTE="freescooter, post: 2087890, member: 1023"] BC is in a tough spot. It is a smallish private school which is not really connected to the local community anymore. In an odd way the Flutie years were the beginning of the end. As they became a more "national" university the local alumni/subway alumni started shrinking. Even in the 80s every town and every parish in greater Boston had a bunch of BC alumni. The priests all went to the seminary across the road from BC so they had a connection too. That isn't true any more. A BC grad in Charlotte or Houston or Chicago isn't going to many games or buying many season tix. Add in the incredible success of especially the. Sox and Pats and it is no wonder nobody cares. No alumni base. No community base. Bad teams = no fan base. [/QUOTE]
