Week 12 - SBC Attendance

[Jacob81]

My daughter knows nothing about football and couldn’t tell me the score, but she attends all the football games at Acadiana high because her friends do. HS kids might find it cool to go to UL games just to hang with friends and get the college experience.

I’m sure plenty of high school kids are spread out in the stadium with family. I bet a lot would go to the section for HS kids if they had one.

Also, not worth discussing this with people who don’t understand that running out of water for the Tulane game was a colossal failure. Community can do better. This university/athletic administration certainly can as well.

It was a failure yes.

[CAJUNSby90]

Is there such thing as a recruiting violation anymore?? Haha.

[Jacob81]

Like covcaj said. I think that rule is for individual or small groups of people. Not in general. I don’t think it’s a violation to have a game where HS kids get in for $5 or even free.

You dont "think" but there are probably people in our ath dept that know they can't, so they dont.

Are you in our athletics department? Or do you just “think” you are understanding the ncaa rule??

I’m pretty sure we’ve had promotions before for high school students.

. . . let’s play nice . . .

Huh?

Well, regardless of it possibly being a ncaa violation, which is ridiculous now, I think it is a very good idea to start creating a long-term relationship between the local schools and UL. It just opens so many doors down the road.

Im all for looking for ways to increase our attendance..we need it badly and this program deserves it, but lets stop with the "let the HS kids in free" angle PLEASE

We do the WBB education game each year and invite local schools. It's easily the highest attended game of the year. All WBB games are free, but reading the AI response, that implies that what we are doing is against the rules. Sometimes you need to look deeper than AI. I don't think high schools are invited, but that's not so say that high school students can't walk up to a WBB game and get in for free.

I agree. Nothing free.

$100 tuition credit for every Louisiana football game they attend.

Starting in high school and continuing through grad school.

Make em scan in and scan out in 4th quarter to be eligible. Far too many students leave at halftime, even with its a close game.
