Message: [QUOTE="billybud, post: 2778772, member: 3850"] You know guys, it is not just UConn. Programs everywhere have experienced a downturn in the numbers of students attending live sports events. "But the overall drop that should concern everyone last year -- and this one isn't calculated in the NCAA figures -- is the falling student attendance. It happened at Texas, and I assume that will change when Tom Herman's team plays closer to its recruiting rank, but the Longhorns are not alone here. Stories about difficulty in getting students to attend games at previous levels can be found at many large schools, state and private, across the land." "These trends have administrators worried about filling seats, selling tickets and generating future donations from the current crop of students who are the boosters of tomorrow." The millennials are scaring the crap out of college ADs....and study after study has been commissioned to determine what will bring them to live sports events. [/QUOTE]
