You're misunderstanding me slightly. The root issue here is FIRST AND FOREMOST spring games are for recruits and their families. That's a fact that's not up for debate. It just is what it is. There's a reason we do 3-4 spring games each spring. 1-2 always will be on campus and the remainder spread out between dade,Broward & palm beach. That's just what it is brother. You say we need customers and you're absolutely right. But #1 we're not some sec powerhouse in some rural college town with nothing else going on. We're not bama,we're not oklahoma,texas,Ole Miss etc. No matter what we do we're not gonna get 50-100k fans who come out to support whatever product we put on the field. The ones who will, well in the spirit of calling them customers, that would make recruits the merchandise I suppose. What customers want to spend time and money on a below average product? We prioritize recruits with these events because theirs limitations on schools abilities to get everyone on campus together. This is necessary. Fans get to tag along. But it's far more important we have showcase events for our recruits whenever possible then it is to have a gathering for our fans that brings in minimal revenue.
Don’t we always hold a spring game on campus or at least a scrimmage?
