A Real Head Scratcher (Student attendance tonight)

[zeppelincajun]

I agree with MAT, the people in charge just don't care...and I think that includes a few in the athletic department...the fewer people who attend, the less trouble to be had on game day. Same with the CD, no one with a lick of sense would f up consessions like that...

The median HH in Lafayette Parish is $54,100...they (MH, RCAF, Maggard) are squeezing out the lower half to cater to the upper half, who could give (mostly) a purple and gold rats azz what UL athletics are doing.

Someone get this man a pulpit because he’s preaching.

Absolutely correct. Ever since Maggard & Yanko came in it has been that way. Absolute wrong approach, and they still don't get it.

To clarify, we did not cancel classes for the game. We cancelled classes for mental health. It may have actually been for football but the messaging was Mental Health. We are terrified of admitting to any importance of athletics.

Mental health ? Please enlighten us.

When John Aiken came on Ragin Review, he mentioned how he wanted anyone as low as $10-$25 to show up to Krewe Allons events because you never know who will increase their donation or have someone sneak in and donate $10k. The gate should be open right now. We have no room to keep it closed. We are not Temple or Rice.

$1000+ donors build the seats
$10-$1,000 fill the seats

Right now, we are emptying the seats.

the getting out early is to clear the parking of student parking at cajun field for the state volleyball tournament and the game. Not for college students to go to the game.

The football game is mentioned but no mention of a half day.

What kind of fan are they looking for?

Ones with a lot of money.

Check of the football and main athletics Twitter accounts shows no mention of a half day for the game tonight.

Don't worry they'll send out the 4pm tweet and Instagram post. That should pack em in. If they don't care, then why should the community?

I would not expect faculty/professors to provide any help with promoting athletics..

Twenty years ago I had one or two professors that would actively shame people for not going to the games, or give out bonus points for providing proof that you went. But for every one of those teachers, I had 4 or 5 that thought athletics were a waste of money and were beneath their supreme intellect.

I can only imagine how much worse that sentiment is these days
