It took years of flirting with #1 in the country for the BB program to get any student support. It isn't because they aren't fans. Its because the logistics for off campus stadiums suck when you are a student. Heck I used to skip football games because I was afraid to give up my great parking spot by the dorm. It means alot when you lug stuff back and forth to home. And you wouldn't catch me dead riding a shuttle to a game so no surprise that they don't either.

I agree with you 100%. If the school wanted to make student participation a priority they'd have looked into building OC facilities for football/basketball. All these people replying about back when they went to college in the 80's-late 90's have to realize the target group has changed astronomically. If you haven't noticed all the delivery services in the past few years starting up, even pre-covid. Younger kids seem to want convenience, and waiting on a shuttle/paying for parking/driving are very inconvenient. Winning helps a lot, but student participation will never be close to that of in conference schools like UCF without OC facilities.
