These rules will in turn cause BCF to lose ALOT of money. The only reason most people go to the games is to socialize and listen to the bands. The only time they really get into the game is when their team scores lol.
Hate to say it but its true. I say boycott a few games with no band and see how many people show up....
The Swac tried this a couple of years ago..... They are really going 2 regret this decision..... I don't think they gone stick long... The game was horrible in Teneessee......... The Bands are the attraction of the games.....
I think this won't stick for the simple fact that some SWAC bands brings prospective students to that college or university. I know fa dern sho (country I know) I won't go to the games if it does come into effect. My baby boy need to see how the games supposed to be......
