[Vision2020] UI Athletics

[Tom Hansen]

Winning programs draw attendance.  UI hasn't had a winning season since
before Tom Cable.  Given the opportunity I believe that Nick Holt can
convert Idaho football into a winning program like it was when we won the
Humanitarian Bowl in 1998.

We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are
dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all
exist very nicely in the same box.

There is much discussion regarding the value of 1A athletics here at UI.  I
have a couple of questions.

 

This past weekend was homecoming I believe, and there was a parade downtown
before the game in Pullman.  What was the economic benefit to downtown
merchants this past weekend??

 

I have not attended a game, but I do understand that tickets were available
free of charge.  If tickets are given away for free, and a 35000 seat
stadium in Pullman has only 9000 participants, how is this an economic
benefit to the Moscow community or the UI?
