Re: NCAA Hockey Administrators to western fans: Drop Dead
You're onto something here that extends well beyond Miami. The ubiquity of the various social media platforms, easy access to Netflix and other video streaming portals, the obsession with video games and emergence of e-gaming, not to mention non-cyber competition for the entertainment dollar, are all are shaping cultural trends that bode ill for spectator sports at all levels. While I have more years behind me than I want to admit to, I do try to keep a finger on the pulse of what's "cool" to the younger generation and find that going to sports events is not high on coolness list. With the possible exception of Minnesota high school hockey, what you noted about Miami is, unfortunately, being replicated across many other high school and college campuses and affects more than hockey. People I know who are in the sports marketing business think a day of reckoning is coming.
