Message: [QUOTE="champs99and04, post: 2778686, member: 488"] The trend I'm referring to started a while ago. During the mid-00's or so there seemed to be a shift. I don't really have anything tangible to support that hunch, but I've heard it bounced around from time to time on here and it makes some sense. I don't think the 2011 class is much different than the 2018 class, but I don't know if I'd say the same about the '99 or '06 class. Part of it is probably just the world changing. Winning is obviously critical to growing a fan base, but it's not as important to maintaining it as one would think. That has more to do with building everything college life is supposed to be about - the relationships, the comradery, the traditions - into the product you're selling rather than around it. I am not quite sure our recent administrators have thrived in that area and I fear the decision to low ball KO signals a continuation of that trend. [/QUOTE]
