BC student body is to blame too. BC is the only school where
it's "not cool" to go to athletic events @BostonCollege @BCSportsNews

"D1 money with D3 atmosphere"- @FlyingSegel
Pretty much sums it up. Fix it @BostonCollege
Eh. More people would go to the games if they weren't fucking awful. The students did fine last year for a 3-9 season.
Win games and the students will go. Same with the general fanbase
Eh I'd like to hope so but that isn't true anymore. The students are generally complete lame-Os these days. Our hockey team is STACKED and has been ranked highly all season, but have you seen attendance there? It's pathetic. And hopefully everyone spares the "but that's hockey" excuse because we had much better student attendance when I graduated in 2010. There's just a general apathy among current students towards sports.
Having said that, I recently met with a BC official who claimed that Leahy is very disturbed with the contents of the Globe article and is extremely sensitive to the sentiment around sports. That's cool and all, though I won't put faith in that until I see action.
