Message: [QUOTE="DFW HOYA, post: 3133651, member: 597"] The key word here is culture. Texas A&M draws 31,000 students each and every game--they fill up three decks across the field from the high-paying donor class. The expectation is that you attend games as a show of school spirit, plain and simple. By cntrast, an AAC school like SMU might draw 100 students to a game--it's no longer in the cultural DNA of the school. The question is whther UConn wants to have that cultural tie to football that they have at Penn State, West Virginia, or (to a lesser extent) Maryland, or if it will be relegated to the cultural priority football has at UMass or URI.
