You have to make lifelong fans out of current students. It wouldn’t hurt to entice the kids of alumni with some fun and excitement on game day. La Tech’s market presents some challenges. There are no easy fixes. Playing games in S’port hasn’t been a huge long term boost historically. I’d bet if La Tech could be near capacity attendance at home games and had an above average athletic budget we wouldn’t be left out in conference realignments.
Amen! The problem is at the student level. Get them enthused and the rest will eventually work out. Simplistic, I know, but that is the nucleus, IMO.
