You cant make students go to the games but we need to do a better job encouraging involvement. Things are changing nationally but it seemed like there was a true grass roots effort on campus 5-7 years ago to reach out to students. They even had a thing at the dome where all freshman were taught game day traditions
TM tried for the last 3 years to reach out to different demographics during the Friday TM luncheon. The lowered the price, they changed the venue, they changed the food. What they ended up doing was losing at least half of the people who used to attend the luncheons. So this year they went back to the old format. But its going to take some time to get all the folks to come back again.

It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.
