thanks for posting here- great ideas and very constructive.  i like the idea about the magazine, the HS programs, etc. 

getting the stands full is hard sometimes even when the weather is good, the opponent is good, etc.  why cant we get students to the game?

because they are disaffected.  lots of them didnt play football; have no interest in sports.  didnt go to schools with spirit.  football is taking a beating in the press these days as a barbarian sport.  rather play video games or go to the pub.  or, study.

but those arent the big issues.  the biggest is- how do we even get students to stay on campus?  there's something like 11 thousand beds?!?!?!?

you need to give them a reason to stay.  why cant we focus on this issue and really attack it?  every time it comes up we end up talking about something else.
