There's so much information given that is far more important to a vast majority of the students, that the athletics message would likely get lost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More information may not be needed, but a video hyping up the athletics program while parents and siblings are there with some "Be Part of the Action!" encouragement should be part of every orientation. I didn't know it was free for students and never attended a game as a student, for that I blame athletics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know it was free for students and never attended a game as a student, for that I blame athletics. So, it has already been mentioned above that a video was sent over but not used. It was also mentioned that athletics has been saying that the events are free for students at the orientations. Thirdly, you never attended a game because you didn't know that they were free? You never thought to ask how much games were? Sounds like you really weren't that interested to begin with, so would a two minute, "hype" video during your orientation actually change that? You may answer with a, "yes" but I seriously doubt that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never had a conversation with a single other student about attending a game and they never mentioned it was free? Not everything is on athletics to market 100%. Plenty of work has to be done by word of mouth and personal contribution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
