I would say these are the days.Whenever we promoted SBC (during 03-07 when I was part of it), we mentioned those loyalty points every single time. Not a big reason to sign up for then because we weren't in this situation (people just signed up because it was fun, and we had awesome roadies). But now look at how the program has grown and people notice that those loyalty points will come in handy once they graduate, so now they're paying attention to SBC.I am VERY thankful for SBC. I have a good number of priority points because of it. It just angers me some because now people will want to join it to get the points, not because it's something that supports the university, not because they become donors, not because of the fun trips and times the group has, but because they want points. Points can also be earned by going to....other athletic events. But a lot of students will see this as an easy 50 points.Ok ok, I'm done...sorry. Like I said, it angers me because back then people joined it to support USF, not other reasons.You brought a tear to my eye Margret. Although we have had a lot of people sign up just because of the points, there does seem to be a lot more interest in SBC in general, not just the points. Even our IM interest has gone up compared to last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I joined SBC (formerly Student Athletic Association) back in 2003 because of the great trips and events that were going on. Points weren't really even a factor back then. I don't think points really came into the minds of someone joining until this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So dont knock people for not knowing about it, blame marketing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
