I was just listening to the LG telecast. The Chevrolet dealership in Msla is sponsoring $1000 scholorships that students can register for when they attend one of the (I believe men's only) games. Sounds like they will give one away at each home game.
I don't know if this has been going on for a while or what, but if I were a student, I would attend a few more games. A novel way to put more fannies in the seats. :thumb:

Those of you who say that student attendance dropped after the students were moved to the end-zone are wrong.
There was virtually no student attendance at the time of the move. That is why the students were moved.
Moving students to the end zone allowed the sale of lower east side seats to the corporates who, granted, don't show up as much as we would like. If Uof Arizona can have a great student section in the end zone, so can we.
Believe me, students had long since stopped coming to games when the move was made. As a matter of fact, so few students sat in the east lower seats that it became a general admission area just to make it look used.
You think the lower east side looks bad now with relatively few corporate seats filled, it was much worse when only the students sat there (unless we go way back to the days of strong teams).
If you think our players will play better if more students show up, what are you smoking? The reverse is the truth. If the team plays better, students will show up, even if they have to sit in the end zone like they do at the U of Arizona.
Get off O'Day's back on this.
Students wouldn't come when the game was free, they wouldn't come when the game was free and they could win $100, now they won't come when the game is free and they can win $1,000.
Wins and losses is the key - it always has been for both football and basketball.
If anyone should move, it is the band. To take up a quarter of the end zone with the band seems a waste when they could be in the upper section and leave more seats for students.

Bravo, a suggestion to move the loudest supporters of the basketball team.

Coyote and GBBKing - The band members are students, so leave them - but, since their primary job is to play music, how about moving them directly behind the basket?
As it is, they get half of the best student seats. Does that make any sense?
