I am a Flyer Football fan and season ticket holder since 81. I love the football program and it survives because of the number of students it brings to the school. Additionally, it is a first class run program.
The game yesterday was not widely talked about yet because a lot of people like me were at the game. It was an 8 hour drive in mostly pouring rain. It was also against a team not many people know about around Dayton.
The problem as I see it is the university doesn't do a good job promoting the program. They don't advertise the fun that is attending a game. It is a family type of event that is affordable. They need to do more fun things to get students involved. It would be a better product and attendance would improve if played on campus.
All of the athletic programs are division 1 and volleyball is free. My daughter and I love watching the Volleyball and women's basketball games. All great team programs.
Dayton needs to do a better job promoting these other sports.
Go Flyers!
