If you are not on board with giving your 100% support to the basketball team, do us all of favor and disband it or remove us out of the Big East and into the MAAC or NEC. Do not lie to us about the support you the give team and then half ass it because you have more important things to deal with or you don't think spending the money is appropriate. Do not cry for money and not use it on the most revenue generating sport you have with the largest fan base. Do not fill our heads with promises when we know those promises will fall flat. Do not insult the intelligence of fans who have been season ticket holders for decades. Please stop giving us hope and always ultimately breaking our hearts. We are tired of slogans of the Time is Now only to be replace by Next Year is the Year! That thinking, the half hearted effort, has never been enough and it is why we are at this point.
Do you think think that the program is not important? Do you not realize that a successful high profile team will not only generate fans, but students and future alumni. My father has been watching Seton Hall since the 50's, I have been a season ticket holder with my whole family since I was 10 years old. Between my father, sister, and myself we have earned 5 degrees from undergrad and graduate programs at Seton Hall and have spent more than 16 years as students and have given the school hundreds of thousands of dollars in tuition alone. Why did we all come? it was the love of the program, It was the memories we shared as a family year after year. I still have programs when from Brendan Byrne Arena with signatures of Dehere, Walker, and Gyrating Joe. Now we have six tickets together with our significant others and we continue tradition. Even at 1 years old, my daughter comes to the games and I look forwarding to sharing memories with her when I buy her a season ticket and I will push her to become a future alumni as well.
This would not be possible without the heights that Seton Hall has reached over the years. The NIT and Big East Championships, the NCAA championship that almost was, the stars we have had grace our halls over the years. We have a state of the art arena, we have in a high major league, and we treat our program like a low major school would. The Seton Hall Men's team is important. It is your highest profile sport and over the years I guarantee has put as many alumni into the seats as the academic offerings at Seton Hall. Our basketball team has a wonderful and proud tradition, passionate fan base, and great culture of class and excellence. We deserve better than what we are receiving.
The media has turned us into a joke nationally. We are mocked by our fellow league members and local schools. All the good will that happened this season is gone and replaced with national embarrassment. We are tired of being a bottom feeder in a weaker league where we have had prior success. The pride we all share has been hurt. Do you think the that this continuing will have no effect on enrollment? We have already lost the average fan, next comes sometime season ticket holders, and next is the big donors. Revenue will decrease, enrollment will be down (because who wants to go to a school whose best sport is a joke?), and we will continue a downward spiral until we are out of the league and down the drain. But please worry more about the construction on campus and the medical school because the Basketball team is not important. The thousands of fans that have supported the school as alumni and have been season ticket holders for decades are not important. No, we are important. We are the heart and soul of Seton Hall and we deserve better. Give us the same support we have given you.
