[QUOTE="cpf2001, post: 976534, member: 6459"] Go study what schools with engaged student fanbases do and start copying that. Expand the base. For every “they’re international, they’ll never care” excuse turn that into a “they didn’t grow up a UGA or Bama fan” opportunity. Stop feeding the “objective” “logical” “sports are a waste, just like everything else in life outside the library, be more like MIT” and start getting people to have fun and to want to have fun. Snobbery is just a lazy way for people to feel superior, get them to have more to their school identity and experience than smugness. I think this year has some good steps in that direction - find things the kids are already into and use that to get people in the door - but you also have to stay serious about competing since you can’t convince people 3-9 every year is a fun diversion they should have as a hobby. This is a twenty year project, not a two year one. [/QUOTE]
