In response to HARVARDDADGRAD
The problem is that (1) the schools are on break and today's students would rather give up an arm than pass on Spring Break and (2) even if they were in session, the students don't care about Ivy basketball. Only the fanatics care, and there are virtually no fanatics from Cornell or Yale.
I will note, however, that the Yale-Harvard playoff at the Palestra was a near sellout (a lot of Penn fans, including myself, went to that game), so I just think a lot of people will walk up.
One of the things that I think hurts the attendance is that the big donors got all the best seats, not the season ticket holders. While I understand the policy reasons, you are saying something about the loyalty to season ticket holders when you put them up in the rafters.
