I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing?
 
Name anyplace where a "sports culture" has been built largely by the marketing dept or athletic dept of a school, or even a pro franchise, and not largely from the fanbase itself?
 
I mean one can argue that the Yankees have the same kind of "cult" following in New York as Alabama football has in Alabama. What did the Yankees do to build that, aside from winning all the time? They have a stadium that is a pain to get to, in a sketchy area (to put it mildly), with outrageous prices. And yet, millions come, happily.
 
I keep asking this Bees but aside from moving the game to NYC (which I understand) what exactly has SU done the past 10 years to piss you off so royally, aside from sucking?
 
I gather that they've cut a lot of booster perks, presumably, but that only affects those giving at that level, not the larger population that we need to put another 10K in the Dome regularly to fill it up.
 
I'm sincerely interested in how they've been so terrible.
