A mini concert before the game may help attendance.

My connections are telling me the people in charge do not care. I figured this was the case...

My connections are telling me the people in charge do not care. I tend to believe that. I think that they definitely feel that it's not important, to say the least.
But the way that I view it, either you are a professional at what you do...or you're not.

When you’re overworked and underpaid to varying degrees, things tend to fall through the cracks. And attendance numbers for alumni pissing matches seems to be one of those things.
What matters the most are the ticket sales.

So can you at least admit that a whole bunch of things have consistently fell through the cracks with our current athletic leaders? I know you have a hard time keeping things 100 on public forums, but is that something you can acknowledge?

Plus, this isn’t individual failure where bringing in someone to replace people currently in place will fix things. They need more money from Auxiliary Services and the Foundation. And that ultimately rests with the Board of Trustees.

The BOT rubber stamps everything Chancellor Martin asks for. When has he requested something in the past 5 years and has not gotten it?

We were the victim of a crappy team and high-ticket prices! To our Administration, ticket revenue, not butts in the seat must be more important. I'd like to see a comparison of HBCU game by game revenue by schools. Hell, I can get 20,000 people in Alabama to show up for a sunny Saturday football game for $10.00 bucks. Hell, even Prime Time questioned the attendance numbers at Jackson State. Attendance numbers are for bragging rights, not bill paying.
