Todays students should be able to have a say in UT traditions just as those in the past.

Of course they should. But living alums should have a say as well. Your time in college comes to an end, but you are tied to that place forever. Countless alums attend events, donate, wear gear (which is advertising), and speak of their school.

Universities should not cater only to the students currently walking the halls. They, too, will eventually be gone. Then what? If we just applied your logic, traditions would never exist because student bodies would constantly change things.
