While Charlotte has the third highest average attendance in CUSA there are signs of trouble. In their last home game they had the lowest attendance they have had since Halton Arena (the house that Lew built) was built. Some think the long term problem is that after four years under Major and one minor post season tournament invite with no wins and his recent contract extension (While still paying former coach Lutz) the head coach is the issue, but it goes deeper than that.

The long term problem is AD Judy Rose. She fought against starting football for years until the fans did an end around and forced the school to over ride her rejection of the sport. At the last minute when her efforts were a lost cause she jump in front of the parade and acted like she was directing the band. She focused on Olympic sports by directing funds away from the goose that laid the golden egg (men's basketball).
