Message: [QUOTE="ForCuseSake, post: 1989275, member: 266"] Let me take a crack at helping you with this part of your post because this is a common refrain from you. There are many non-alumni in CNY who, through family ties, business and other relationships, have a very strong connection to SU and SUAD. Many of these people are professionals who donate significant sums of money to SU and are diehard fans of SU sports. These people have children who grow up rooting for SU sports because of their parents' interest & relationships. Many of these children choose not to attend SU to get away from home (or simply go to a better school). Let this anecdotal example help you understand why non-alumni (edit) fans don't go to Dick's to buy a new t shirt or get a new team. Many, not all, aren't the fair weather fans you proclaim. They're closer to the lifeblood of SU Athletics than you give credit. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
