This isn’t another Neal Brown thread. It’s about WVU and its athletics future.
I see our passionate fanbase eroding before my eyes.
One of my dearest friends and Mountaineer fan in New Jersey - who drives 6 hours to every WVU game has cancelled his hotel reservations and put his tickets up for sale.
He and others like him are not fair weather. They are simply fed up with paying $1000 for weekends in Morgantown that leave them empty and pissed.
Simply, there are far more satisfying ways to spend their money.
Many others are starting to express that it not worth it any more to go through the considerable arrangements and costs associated with a game when their home viewing offers a much more practical option. While I may not agree with them, I can certainly understand their judgements.
It’s not about a bad football season. It’s about a prolonged period of decay where we have reset what the program will tolerate in performance.
We once were dissatisfied with 9 wins. Now we lament 6-6 seasons and seem to be more focused on managing a fanbase than our program.
It’s made it no better that our BB program has been an embarrassing circus and is finally ready to start a new chapter.
College sports is changing drastically and our prolonged period of performance is putting us in danger of falling further behind and losing the one thing our Administration takes for granted - our fanbase.
