Message: [QUOTE="reedny, post: 2336813, member: 1423"] Here's a different perspective. We took our kids last year, and it was really fun for them. They got to meet Otto and there was plenty of excitement. It might seem hokey for the millennials, but having JB ride in on a HUMVEE was a lot of fun (and a nice nod to the 10th Mountain). I enjoyed the player introductions, but would be happy to see a better scrimmage. I won't miss the dunk contest. As far as recruiting, it may not be make-or-break for current prospects - although the value to them is hard to assess. But MM was often on ESPN and having that kind of exposure is golden ... to build the brand and attract interest for fans and future recruits. MANY recruits talk about growing up watching SU. So I would hate the see the AD give up this tradition and cede the territory to rival programs. Let's just do it better. [/QUOTE]
