I was a long time season ticket holder - I couldn’t make a lot of games, but always had family that would gladly use them.  That slowly started to stop a decade ago.  I dropped the tickets 7-8 years ago.  I have a nine year old and eleven year old - I taken them to exactly two Syracuse games total.  One they were so young they don’t remember it. They have other interests and don’t want to watch a crappy college basketball team, so we not only don’t go to games but barely watch on TV.  Syracuse basketball isn’t any part of their lives.

I suspect there’s a lot of people with kids around 8-14 years old that were historically fans but the last 7-8 years killed it - and they don’t watch with family anymore.  And the next generation of fans is going to be smaller, just because the habit of following was never established.

Syracuse has already done some permanent damage to the brand which will impact attendance going forward.  The start of the long run is already here - and the cost will continue to rise.  Letting JB nearly kill the program he’d built and then hiring Red to finish the job is going to prove costly.
