Week 11: UC Davis @ Eastern Washington I really don’t want to offend anyone with this post.
Right now, most prospective students that may come to Davis know it for its academics. They really don’t even know there is a sports presence here all that much (my assumption-backed by lack of attendance at football games).
I venture to think that most prospective students to the Univeristy of Alabama know the school based on its athletics. Although I do think they have a few Rhode scholars so I’m not knocking the school on their academics at all. I just feel that they are predominantly known for their athletics than their academics.
When students start coming here based on a multitude factors that include athletics ( i.e. a large factor is also athletics aside from academics), then I feel there will be a turning point in attendance for our athletic teams.
