Thread: CANCELED: Alumni Association Bus Trip to USM Basketball Game

    Seems the conferences concern in scheduling are based on travel (and travel costs) of the team, not the fans.

    However from a fan view if you put the USMs and the ULMs distanced games there is a chance a fan could make it on a weeknight, whereas the georgias, troys, etc, cannot. but coukd on a weekend. So every game has a chance, moving the usm’s and ulm’s to weekend give less games a chance but make it easier for those, so a higher attendance at less games? sounds like another chicken and egg.

    regardless the team likely saves money and misses less school this way.

    One bright spot that has happened fairly recently (and I am supposing as I don't know for certain), is that the AA has access to university busses (new/newer) for these trips now. That means they do not have to obligate to bus(es) with a company two weeks in advance.

    That is shown here; they offered the trip the week of (thanks do go out to * Marlin for instigating this) and did not have to plop $1500 (or whatever it is) for a bus, then find out it couldn't be filled. This is very good news for us buss riders in the future!

    Did they tell the 7 that bought bus tickets that it was cancelled, in case they arent on RP.
