Why don't the cheerleaders lead the stadium in pregame cheers anymore?

I remember as a kid, before the band came out, one of the guy cheerleaders would lead the stadium in a few cheers over a mic.
Why did they stop and when did they stop? I just realized tonight that this hasn't been done in a while.

Probably laziness. In fact, now that the marching band is PAID, they also perform less than ever (when you would think that the reverse would be true since money is now involved).

Yeah, I remember this also....used to be those old-timey corny cheers like "two bits" and "hot boudin", etc...but damn it it got everybody 'on the same page'.
On a related note, since it's apparently time for the old-timers to grumble- WHY CAN'T THE ENTIRE STADIUM CHANT "TIGER BAIT" WHEN THE OPPONENT COMES ON THE FIELD ANYMORE?
This smattering of lukewarm "boos" nowadays to me is a microcosm of all the things that are gone or changed for the worse from the mystique and legend.

I also remember this. Who pulled the plug?!?!? Dietzel? Broadhead? Someone else?

I'm glad they did.
Nothing more lame than shouting 1 bits, 2 bits, 3 bits a dollar.
I can get up and holler when the game starts and when the band plays.

When: About 13-15 years ago, ish…
Why: They became pushed for time with all the other on-the-field stuff that goes on before the game, so the "stadium cheer" with the cheerleaders gradually got the boot permanently. On top of that, a lot of other school began to phase it out.
