Also winning helps as students will show up for a winner (example is VBall).
Rob Clark told me that when he met with student groups that they said that they will show up ONLY if things are given to them. Swag along with free food.
Still a commuter school as that does hurt attendance but the students can and will come to games if the team is winning and they are given free things.
How is Dan responsible for lack of attendance. We have to understand that today's students don't have the same interests as the 1960s - 1980s students. Not close at all. Current students worry about meeting all financial considerations and taking care of family. Today's students are very differently focused, especially as the student base goes 60/40 female.
Question. Just curious. Who will recruit for next year? Also if people consider Dan responsible for lack of attendance at the myd what about other sports with really poor attendance? I always thought building attendance was the responsibility of the athletic administration.
