The kids go, or they don't.  Put a good product on the court and they go.  I was on campus in the late 80s when I won the championship at UConn, as you can see from my avatar (have I mentioned that before?), and got to see the start of something good.  I signed up for the lottery, got the tickets when I could afford them, and went to games when I could.  Sometimes, it was just easier to watch from my dorm with some friends.  Busting on the kids for not going is pretty weak.  Sometimes they can't afford to go, or have class, or are getting laid, or are working, or are driving the campus bus (like me).  
My championship is rarely discussed in the annals of UConn lore.  I have been ok with being forgotten.  There was the time I got that one rebound.  There was the time I hit the front end of a one on one.  There was the time I drove to the basket and faked left but scored from the right (ok I lost the ball out of bounds).  But I've moved on from that.  I know you all pine for the greatness that I experienced.  It's ok.  But, at some point you have to realize that it is time to move on and we are starting over.  I still have some eligibility left.  All hope is not lost.
Current UConn students, I am coming.  It will be spectacular.  Save me a cold one.
