I mentioned 3 major issues I have with improving the student section see what you think.
1. Less weekday games. I have night class Tuesday and Wednesday and it looks like next semester Monday and Tuesday. Games are almost over by the time class ends which is 8:30.
2. Bigger name opponents- No Thanksgiving game against Illinois. Do it while students are in class.
3. Let the students be students. Let more maybe not as clean of chants go to build student interest. Get what happens at Lawson students go and affect the other team even when the team is bad look at the student section 3 years ago winning didn't make a difference.

For those not involved... what was the survey like?

I agree with your 3 points although it will be tough for "less weekday games" as many college basketball games are played during the week. Stop scheduling your classes so late if you can!
