Is the Providence alumni base that much wealthier then SHU? The difference is not obvious to me.Don't see that much of a difference between the two schools.
Their alumni base actually likes their school lol
It’s experience
Yes. Besides Kurtz We have Mo Vaughn. The drummer for Bruce Springsteen, Max Weinberg, is a grad. How the school doesn’t have Bruce adopt Seton Hall is beyond me. These are people with connections to Seton Hall.
You aren’t wrong with the whole premise, but the reality is we don’t have the type of casual, hop on the band wagon support to lure those types. Unless they are a diehard, they ain’t getting involved in something like Seton Hall basketball. It isn’t like sitting in the first few rows in the Garden watching a hoops team that galvanizes NYC.
This is the principal issue. And even some of those professional sports teams are a blip on the radar, ie, the Nets, Devils and Islanders. The big 6 will always attract the most attention. And the only hoops program the NYC market cares about is SJU when they are interesting and good, as evidenced by how Pitino basically transformed them overnight into a program that gets crazy coverage and eyeballs.
That’s not true at all. Their alums live throughout the Northeast, while SHU grads are generally in New Jersey.
Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi adopting Seton Hall? Why??????? Too bad Sinatra is dead. They could have gone after him, as well!
We always had major sports teams when wed have 20k at the meadowlands. Wheres those fans go?
9 ny pro teams and a big state school are our problem. Plus, NYC has tons more of everything than Boston.
Times change. The Meadowlands used to also get 20,000 five nights a week for harness racing and regular 70,000 crowds for the Cosmos. Where did those people go, also?
Bruce doesnt adopt many things. He turned down huge ad money decades ago. I strongly doubt he is getting involved cause Max went here. And if Bruce came to a game, we'd prob boo him cause of his politics lol.
They have adopted him. And yes, if he poured tons into us after they build that center, he'd be the biggest jerk ingrate in the world. Forgot about that.
Dont use a list of poor people to cold call for mansions. Qualify or your wasting your time.
The same place they were before we got good. At home. Hell, this is a SHU fan site and its the most depressing board, with so much negativity. And with few posters.
I was being facetious. Bruce gives his money/name to things that resonate to him personally (like any other human). I’ve never seen Bruce have any connection to any sports team or sport itself.
This board is like any other fan message board….a collection of wide ranging opinions with a touch of social media toxicity.
Often, yes. The problem might be too many other options were your restaurant is located. Many top chefs close restaurants cause the biz is down while the food is still top notch.
I do a lot of reading of successful business leaders. Not one complains about the customer for anny failures and in fact are hyper vigilant on making sure they have a unique and positive connection with them.
I don’t want to make excuses but back then people only had one 19 inch low resolution TV in the hluse. Many games weren’t on TV. If you wanted to watch sports in general you needed to watch in person.
