No XL games until Fall 2021

during that era the athletic department had really begun to take the fanbase for granted, particularly season ticket holders (in all sports, not just men's BB).

what did they do to make you feel this way?

While there are some like you, attendance is a great indicator of interest in the program. If fans are going out of their way to attend games in person it shows they are heavily interested in the team.

We'll have to agree to disagree here. There's a reason attendance has been declining in all sports for the past decade, regardless of whether teams are good or bad

what barometer do you use?

TV ratings, maybe. I know several former season ticketholders that follow UConn as much as ever but don't go to games anymore. Mostly due to the lousy way they were treated by the Athletic department over the years.

Attendance is an indicator of interest in the team. But it’s also 2020 and I can watch almost any sporting event on the planet for free on my laptop. I’m also pretty sure UConn athletics scored as a top college in the country in terms of social media engagement. Someone posted that on this board earlier this year.

An article on the almighty football attendance but an interesting read

In 2004 my boss gave everyone an extended lunch hour to watch the Huskies in the first round of the Big East Tournament. AND bought lunch foe everyone at the joint across the street So we could all watch it. Today if you did that everyone would be fired and 1/2 the people wouldn’t go anyway...If you weren’t around or were not old enough to get involved you wouldn’t understand frankly. It’s fine but people don’t schedule weddings around UConn games any more. Guys don’t leave their wives at the hospital after the births of their kids to make tip off as not 1 but 3 guys in our section did between 1999 and 2004. Doubt there are many who drive up from Washington DC And back for midweek games against The New HampshireS of the world like several people I knew used to do. Games against the likes of UNH and Fairfield were sellouts, not just big games. It is not even close to what UConn’s support was between the Dream Season and 2006.
