There's a myriad of junk causing the low attendence. It'll be ok.
There are a lot of contributing factors right now, but I guess we need to define what is "ok" because we're not going to back to Huggins/Martin era attendance anywhere in the near future. I used to go to those early season Asbury/Woolridge games and what we are seeing now is every bit as bad, if not worse.
Sure, the total lack of support sucks for the players and that's unfortunate, but our athletic department is solely responsible for this problem and they're now going to deal with the consequences at a lot of levels.
Frank absolutely had his flaws, but he was the identity of K-State basketball. Dude was a rockstar. You simply don't run off the most popular coach in possibly the history of the basketball program and replace him with a vastly unliked retread and believe that there won't be a significant backlash. That was a complete public relations nightmare and we're paying the price. And no person in our administration at a leadership level can be naive enough to think that some lame gimmicks like pizza is going to fix the problem.
This aint comin' back.
You don't replace this...
With this...
...and not not think there are going to be significant negative consequences to fan support and the bottom line. That's beyond absurd.
