I like the way you say it here much more. I agree that the team needs them, and I too would love to see them stay, (as a student, I never left a game early) but our student population suffers the same thing the entire region does given they are mostly from the Northeast, where the diehard football culture is lacking or tamped down by all that there is to do and see in a large megalopolis with a very diverse set of interests and options. These kids just don't have the same interest level as diehards, and many are experiencing "bigtime" football for the first time (along with college parties, bars, independence, self-reliance for studying and results) and that can lead to mixed emotions for engagement. I recall being envious of a free education, and study-table, and campus notoriety, and free Nike gear. It wasn't until I really got to see it up close and personal that I realized and respected the work that went into it (still a bit jealous of the free education). That colored my initial college sports engagement, and I am a fan.
