I've thought about a separate Big Blue Room for young alumni (30 and younger), two season tickets for the price of one, but I'm not sold on those ideas. There is something inherently wrong when schools also on XMAS vacay can fill their student section and we get, like, 12. That's not on Jones cause it's been happening as long as I remember. I got no answers, but am worried.

Not sure if this information exists out there, but I'd would really like to know the average household income of our students. My guess is an inordinate number of students have to work to pay tuition and bills. Schools with more affluent students would have an advantage when it comes to attendance at sporting events.

Many of our students are first in family students who do not come from families with a strong tradition of attending college sporting events.

I don't really see any answer to this problem short of paying the students to attend.

Hummm, maybe that is an idea. Give students redeemable vouchers for attending games. More you attend, more the value of the voucher.
Solid idea.

Solid I dea...yes ODU has a MUCH higher % of students that use LOANS (Student Aid) because ODU has purposely targeted that demographic because they know $ from the Federal government are limitless. They could care less what degrees these student receive as long as they get the $. It is a huge and dangerous games. Many of these students will NEVER be able to pay back their student loans. Hence why there is a push by LIBERALS for students to have their tuition / students loans paid by you and me. Another way to redistribute wealth. Also, because ODU and many other schools know this money faucet is almost limitless they have NO incentive to control costs hence why ODU and many schools like it have way too many layers of Administration.

RE: Fire Jeff Jones (Selig too?)
This message board has been one of the few safe harbors from political angst we have. I sure hope it stays that way.

If given the option of LIBERALS pushing for taxpayers to pay back student loans (in order to not financially cripple an entire generation) OR for CONSERVATIVES to waste my tax money on an unnecessary war or locking kids in cages; I’ll pick free education every damn day of the week.

Moved to off topic. If y'all want to talk politics, you can do it there or in the spin room.
