[QUOTE="dbeaverfg, post: 1790815, member: 592026"] Somehow have to find a way to change the attitude on campus. DIA research from about 3 years ago showed that incoming students had very little interest in athletics, felt no connection to any traditions of the university, were more likely to retain whatever sports affinity they came in with and wouldn't attend events unless they could find a group to go with. IMO, the student population that the university recruits will not lead to engaged and passionate fans. Is the answer to develop a fan base from the local area, from Chicagoland or from end to end of the state? I don't know, but we need to look into all possible answers. [/QUOTE]
