I don't think it's fair to lay the blame on the students.

I agree. CB is proof that nerds care about football.

The Student Section is a lot better than it was when I went 10 yrs ago

I think that's been BYU Athletics/Marketing leading the way

What about BYU not having any freshmen guys? It was such a huge thing
