Cost of ATV gas too high? Shaka doesn't like Judo? Team too small to dunk? https://marquettewire.org/4081000/sports/marquette-madness-cancelled-for-2022/
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
My guess is that the players voted not to do it. I hate to say it but it had gotten kind of stale. I prefer the Haunted Hoops event
Wizard? When was the crowning? Has Bill Raftery approved this?
Canceling it looks bad. Just not schedule it in the first place with a reason why. When you cancel an event it always causes wonder and lots of questions.
Good thing it was never scheduled for this season.
But now that it's been reported as cancelled from Marquette athletics, that's still exactly where they sit.It would be like Marquette cancelling graduation ceremonies for 2025 and just mailing diplomas instead. They may not have put graduation on the actual calendar yet, but like Marquette Madness, it's an expected thing that happens every year.
I just can't fathom how people are worked up about this. The event sucked ass. Followed the same pattern... Crowd was hyped for the intros, faded in the (missed) dunk contest, and flatlined for the scrimmage.If the students aren't into it, and judging by the last few they're not, there's no point in doing it. Clearly the interest is there based on them selling out the student section.
MU has far bigger issues with the STH/general public. Whole sections of Fiserv are damn near empty and they get basically no walk-up. For the good of the program, I'd rather them invest into growing sales that way, but I don't know if they have the resources to do it.
These aren't really either/or issues. But winning will solve most of it.
