Been touched on in this thread earlier, but UW will never get a huge student fan base. Wins will help, obviously, but the students won't be back on board because who they now are.
I went to the UW in the 80s with my 3.5 because my dad took me to games since I was 7. My sons, who I've taken to games since they were 7, one took his 3.6 to CWU and the one who is a SR this year, unless he gets a baseball schollie, will be taking his 3.7 to ASU, or SDSU, or some other place to get laid, because UW won't even look at a local white kid with a 3.7.
UW decided years ago that they would rather make money on out of state, out of country tuition. And what happens when little Johnny China graduates, he doesn't come back and get 4 Tyee seats, he heads back home.
Until UW decides the want to start letting locals back in, this is what they're gonna get.
More WA kids attend UW than ever before. -
Let's see, we're at approximately 7 million people in the state, was about 6 million back in 2000. Tell me again how adding 1,000 freshmen every five years (at best when it's a political issue) helps local kids. Look at the doubling of out of state during the same period.whatshouldicareabout said:Alexis said:Been touched on in this thread earlier, but UW will never get a huge student fan base.

Only one of your dads took you to Husky games? What did the other dad on those crisp fall afternoons?Alexis said:Been touched on in this thread earlier, but UW will never get a huge student fan base. Wins will help, obviously, but the students won't be back on board because who they now are.

Population has increased about 300,000 since 2010. Resident students increased by 283 in 6 years. During the same time period, non resident students increased by over 5X that

More WA kids attend UW than ever before.
What you're looking at is not admissions but applications. 1000 more kids applied to UW in 2010 than 2015 and 300 of them were accepted. In contrast, 8000 out of state kids applied to UW and only 500 were admitted. We're looking at a difference of 30% of WA state kids and 6.25% for out-of-state between 2010 and 2015.
And, for the sake of discussion, we're talking about filling up the student section with students (quantity) and here you're talking about applications per total population (rate). If WA kids actually cared about football, they'd fill it up as students. And if they had disposable income after graduating school, they'd probably buy season tickets if we had a decent team and decent home schedule. -

Who can't read? The enrollment rate declined an entire point and the trend is pretty obvious. Sure there's enough "traditional" students to fill seats, but the long term health of the ticket base is at risk.whatshouldicareabout said:

The post about the students is spot on. Face it, football is a barbaric game enjoyed by morons. The kids with great academis aren't the people who will support the program.
We don't need Johnny Bravo's, but the current UW fanbase sucks and it isn't just because of the product. We've seen the Dawgpack
