And MU football from a fan and $$ standpoint will always be hindered as a result until the next generation takes their place and the next generation is not as interested in investing in being sports fans like before. It is just a fact.
You can write off that group and that is fine but it remains the truth. We are probably down 20-30% of who used to be die hard fans.
