Message: [QUOTE="btstimpy, post: 2521555, member: 2673"] The Ivy League deemphasized sports starting in the 1950s when it was formed. That should create an opportunity for others to fill the vacuum, as it was a very long time ago. I've seen the time when UConn was selling out its football stadium a decade ago. The coach who did it is back, and hopefully he can bring that back. I've been surprised how much of a hard time UMass Amherst is having getting their program going. Their attendance isn't much more than what the students on campus should provide. They have 23,000 undergraduates. Before getting the general public in New England interested in these teams, the students and alumni have to show interest. [/QUOTE]
