I am writing primarily because of the widespread lack of support for our sports teams. and to further comment on the issues raised in Bob Corson's letter of February 22, 1996. Last weekend. I had the opportunity to visit the University of Connecticut. While there, I watched UConn beat Rutgers (at .. Rutgers) in a televised women's basketball game. After announcing that 5000 fans were in attendance, one of the announcers mentioned that when playing at home, the UConn women's team draws an average of 8000 fans per game. That's right: 80001!!!!! Granted, their women's team has been nation­ ally ranked for as long as J can remember; however, over the past few years, Notre Dame's women's basketball team has beeq. as good, if not better (as we should see in this weekend's game against UConn, and in the Big East Tournament begin­ ning March 2) than both UConn and Rutgers. So, I ask, why does Notre Dame only average 1500 fans a game, with fewer than a tenth of those being students?!? A similar question was raised when the women's soccer team won the national championship earlier this year. Why is it that Irish fans are so enthusiastic about football games, but fail to support many of the other fine athletic teams? I guess they must have something better to do than support their fellow classmates. Personally, I have been to nearly every hockey, women's basketball, and men's basketball game over my four Dear Editor: EDUCATIONAL INTERLUDE- Living things years here, and also try to attend as many of the other sporting Graduatn students do not go to Notre Dame. have a myriad of common features.
