Someone in another thread made a great point about losing a generation of fans.  I remember when I was just a little lad going to my first Cuse game which was Georgia Tech at the Dome against Melo.  That crowd certainly raised the bar for my expectations as to what it was like to attend a Cuse game.  That brand carried as much weight as a Yankee hat.  Even 2 and half hours north in the north country we were always getting in trouble during March Madness at lunch time turning on tv's in the cafeteria to watch the games if Cuse was playing in the afternoon.   A full generation has been lost as a result of this nonsense.  And the bottom line is going to look atrocious at the end of year.

I had to look it up, I went to Cuse-Rutgers in January 2013 during winter break.  Know what the crowd was for that one?  17k.  The weather was horrible that day too.  Even against Rutgers when students were gone they were able to pull 17k in a blizzard.  And this was during the week, wasn't even a weekend game.  12k fewer fans at games for multiple games and that ticket revenue adds up really quick.
