This is correct, but as a broke college student, ODU basketball was my free entertainment. Going out on a Saturday night for my girlfriend and I was a cheap bottle of liquor, usually a free bbq outside the Ted, and a free basketball game. The line get into the dedicated student entrance wrapped half way around the Ted. Are student tickets still free?
Yes student tickets are still free. But more students show up for football than is even possible for hoops. And when the games mattered last year, they filled the student section at the Ted.
My comment was in regards to monarx assertion that younger alums aren't buying tickets because they're not engaged or don't care and that donor money would dry up eventually. As a 2013 alum who runs into a lot of classmates at games, I know that isn't true.
That wasn't the sense I got. They showed up fairly well for WKU that was heavily marketed by everyone including JJ, they were quiet and we got taken to the woodshed, and they really didn't show up again. Some games were better than others, but their sections were never full. I don't think I've seen the student sections completely full since the NIT run.
I was at the games. They filled it up for WKU and MT, the games that mattered. Marshall and UAB wasn't bad but hard to get them back and pumped after they laid eggs in both games that truly mattered.
