Look In The Mirror

There are maybe a dozen +/- schools out there whose attendance wouldnt be effected by a sub-par product on the field. We, of course, are not one of them.

This is so simple. WIN, AND PEOPLE WILL COME !!!

People will overlook many things to see their team win (weather, idiot ticket office, prices, etc...). But they wont overlook those other things to see a P & D team lose to wmu, temple, and rutgers.

WIN, and the seats will be filled.

There's just no excuse for that. Not to get all MBA-ey on everyone, but for most folks that's the only personal interaction with UConn Athletics - It's a make or break interaction. It should be an interaction that makes people want to experience it again, not tell others what a bad experience it was... sigh.

It is a by-product of an institution that not required to compete like a business. They expect dollars to come their way, beit the state, Feds, donors, etc.. They are an entitlement culture, and have no DNA which is based on a competitive for profit mentality where the customer comes first. It's fairly standard and in keeping with most state agencies that think the taxpayer is there to serve them money, and you get the privilege of being served if you follow their rules between the hours of 8:00 and 4:00 most weekdays, excluding holidays, paid leave days, vacation and personal days, subsidized leave for schooling days, trade and professional conferences, moral building conferences and outings, mandated union rest periods .

So, why would you expect anything different.
