This is correct. On a lousy weather day, with the basketball team equally lousy, you're not going to get students, the bulk of whom live on the other side of the river, to want to go to Carver to watch a game. It's just not going to happen. Further, it's my impression, just that, an impression, that the Athletic Department could really care less about the students. If they could sell the seats to the general population at higher prices, they would do so in a New York minute. What I suspect at this point is that unless the team gets a lot better, there's not much they can do to entice the students to come back in bigger numbers, even then, nothing would really change for the students. Putting them at courtside is probably not going to bring them back - the team would need to get better first. But if that happens, then more of the general population will want to come, so why give up all of those expensive seats to a bunch of students at discounted prices. The students are an obligation of the Athletic Department, not a priority. It's backwards in my opinion.
