Not surprising to me. In the absence of nationwide appeal/sales, the students, alumni, families etc. would likely be large contributors to sales. Something we cannot rely on.

RE: Rice is NOT in the Top 75 ...
Need teams other than baseball to step up to the plate. For example, Rice Men's Tennis is NOT in the Top 75. In fact Rice Men's Tennis is unranked whereas Men's Tennis at Duke, Vanderbilt, Texas, and Stanford are ranked 7, 15, 23, and 40 respectively. This is unacceptable.
Houston is one of the strongest cities in the USA in terms of adults and children who play tennis so it would not be very difficult to get an audience, but very few go to watch the Rice Men's Tennis team because the team lacks positive energy, excitement, talent, and leadership, and thus a winning record. At least the scoreboard should work this year with the new stadium. With the above fixes, I'd be honored to buy my children some Rice Tennis merchandise.
