[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 740301, member: 2426"] I agree there are a lot of people who didn't attend college that are mutt fans. I do agree that there are a lot of scum that have no money and no pride in themselves that are mutt fans. I am just pointing out that there is also a lot of big money there. Another advantage their sports programs have is that sports is part of the culture of the campus. Students go to the games. Students remember the games and parties. At GT it isn't. Sure the fraternities have alumni return and have parties, but I have heard from plenty of students who think that the games are just an annoyance. They have to move their cars. They have to put up with big crowds on campus. Later in life when those students start companies and become wealthy, they don't have the same fond memories of sports as mutt graduates. I don't have any actual statistics or data, but my feeling is that the mutts have a much larger percentage of their students emotionally invested in athletics. They have a larger enrollment. There is a much larger chance that alumni from there who become wealthy are going to want to support athletics. If I knew how to get students more interested, I would make suggestions. Pastner did a good job of getting students to the games his first couple of years. I believe Collins is trying hard now.(at least before COVID) I believe he is trying to drum up interest even after COVID limitations. [/QUOTE]
