Dragon's went through this for years. One year...bobble heads in the mail, one year metal old school lunch boxes, plastic wear sets, etc...last couple years...nothing.
The freebies are sponsor driven. With Spectrum out...that ties up one. The lists goes on and on with rotating sponsors. 2 bucks or swag per for 10k season tickets adds up to one hell of a sponsorship. Without that sponsor, it isn't 20k well invested by the university should they pick up the tab.
