The band stays. In my opinion, the brass band only works well when the students compliment it. That starts with attendence. And yes, pregame and touchdown works in a basketball arena when the students are driving the atmosphere.

I emailed the LSU marketing Dept., last year, asking for more publicity and didn't even get a "thank you for your interest" response. Nothing at all from them.
If anyone wants to tell "the powers that be" how they feel about lack of promotion of Men's basketball, see the email addresses below
Don't waste your breath. While these are good people and true LSU fans, there is an air of superiority within the AD's office. They know the best, and anyone outside doesn't know anything. As long as the athletic department is rolling around in football money, dont expect much innovation elsewhere unless the coach drives it.

Yeah, I know and it sucks. I'm going to work "bottom up" starting with bball operations/coach/Tip Off club (which I belong to).
Also TAF since my husband & I are contributors.
But I'm still going to inundate the AD's office with emails and written letters.
Sometimes making yourself a big nuisance get's attention. Even if it doesn't, I'll know I tried.

I commend your enthusiasm. But good luck with people who have been doing things the same way for 20 years and have 100% job security, with no goals or objectives for their jobs.
Another thing I forgot to add, is their season ticket holder relations are non existent. I talk to my Hornets ticket rep once a month. Never have talked to anyone at LSU. This should be step 1 of any improvement plan for basketball. Know your customer, always priority #1.
This lack of concern for the consumer shows the general ineptitude and lack of qualified leadership within the AD office. That's why I am saying its a hopeless cause.
