Nothing about what gives the best fan experience, how they reward fan loyalty, or really any consideration of how to center the people that pay the bills.

As a result, season tickets are down 10% this year, they can't sell single games, and this Oklahoma game looks like a ghost town. But that's okay, it's not about retaining or growing the fanbase, just bleeding the ones that haven't jumped ship yet.

Marquette is the only team not going to Maui and instead playing neutral court games against high major programs.

Wait, nope. Welcome to college athletics.

Very little would be overstating it.

I'm certainly no lawyer, nor am I in a position to confirm or deny the accuracy of a substack "article" that uses hyperbole that would even make Wases blush, but if this is true, I could certainly understand why there may be hesitancy from anyone who reads the fine print regarding the Players Era.

In what ways? You really think Humphrey Hall is a top 10 accommodation? The Al is nice, but there's a reason they were fundraising for a new practice facility before they started being able to pay players. Almost every high major charters flights. What makes them "live like they are top 10 program in amenities and et al?"

Quote from: burger on November 26, 2025, 08:09:13 AMI don't have time to read this whole crap thread.

You said this.  you said that....Blah....Blah....Blah....

I can't believe you guys can type so much with only "one hand" free in your basements....

Here are the facts.

Tre was a miss......Sean is close to being a miss....We have a young team with little experience..... Our coaching is coaching the same old way with a team that needs different strategies.  We are a 6 win team in the Big East.  Relationships are not going to "float" for long.  Look how far both Seton Hall and Providence have come in one year with the coaching staff adapting.....Time for Shaka to adapt and change some things up.  The basketball team lives like they are top 10 program in amenities and et al.  Being a sub 100 team with a top 15 team investment wise is going to have a very short shelf life.

Happy T-Day.

Shaka gets paid a lot.  Figure it out.  Time to adapt... Or otherwise.....Become Wojo....

Shaka should not kid himself.....MU may be kindler and gentler now......But alumni from the 70's and 80's are "Warriors" and align more with the Al McGuire/Rick Majerus/Kevin O'Neil mode.   We are the silent majority that "has an edge"....This is not the Jesuit school where "rich go to play".....

Curious to hear more about how far Providence has come after 6 games and a 4-2 record.

Gotta make the call.

I know I didn't have the Deane era, but if I could keep my tickets and support through some of those Wojo years, I ain't even thinking of quitting now.

Dude, if you ever made it to Turners for a Deane post game you would have doubled your ticket spend.  The Deane years were fun.  Each and every year there were some great home games. The Louisville and Cnci games were battles.  Even one of his last home games in '99, we knocked off #4 Cinci and Bob Huggins came over to Turners for a cigar.

Also, 114 Row M on Friday.

Yup.

I'll use others jumping off as an opportunity to move up the points list as well!
