I've seen some in the BYU AD department ask fans on twitter why they haven't

It's almost like they're in a bubble and can't see what's outside.

Yep. And obviously being P5 helps Utah, but if they were 3-7 with no

I’m willing to bet the NIU game alone lost some season ticket holders

LifelongAP

The prices doubled for the cheap seats. That’s the number one reason.

It's almost like they are running a business and they are asking the customers how they can do better. Isn't that a

No, it's like they are asking customers to keep buying their product even when

Hopefully, my life expectancy doesn't expire before that time comes.

Yes, no problem with it, but just seems obvious to many.

Should have been done starting in 2010

Conflicting wants between the admin and AD. It's that simple

TNT

They know exactly why; always poll your users to confirm, rank, priority & pulse

kapcreations

A church-run entity, located in Provo, in a bubble? No way!

Kerbouchard

8/15/19 10:24pm

I think they've believed for a long time that great schedules are the big thing

BYU Fan

8/15/19 2:55pm

They also need to realize how demoralizing losses to UMASS and NIU

Hence the reason Lisa Wilson started her campaign to change the BYU gameday experience

Sadly I wasn't back yet for that one

BYU Fan

I think they ask non-renewals every year why they didn't renew.

Lance71

8/15/19 2:56pm

If they'd let people renew their seats without getting bumped by higher tier cc

franklyvulgar

8/15/19 3:01pm

The people who donate the most should get the first pick of seats.

HarlemCoug

8/15/19 3:16pm

BYU has a nice mix of reserved seats and higher donors pick first seats. I have

Could you explain more? Donor Seats are by priority, so changed every year.

They don’t reserve your season tickets for you from the previous year they

That must have been when they moved the band and ROC to the SEZ. The EZ seats

BYUtka

North and South End Zone Seats are reserved for you unless you pass on them.

BYUtka

I'm just a middle of the road CC member and I assure you, being a big donor

SWP

Are you saying that if they realized this they would try to win more games?

Sea Chicken

Can't ignore the player comments last year about not getting up for home games

stoils

8/15/19 3:45pm

I disagree

Backcountry

8/15/19 5:53pm

BYU, and by that I mean the powers that be at BYU, has a disconnect...

CoachSpeak

8/15/19 3:04pm

Agreed they don't look at it like a business and a product and people can choose

franklyvulgar

8/15/19 3:10pm

They only lay the guilt trip on when it comes to football and basketball

Pony Zale

8/15/19 3:22pm

It's not just specific to the Athletic Dept, BYU often thinks people owe them...

I think you are right. Almost like a can’t be a good member and not support BYU

USMCdad

It is pretty standard practice when losing a customer to survey them about why

NewMexiCoug

I don’t have a problem with the survey, that’s good business...

CoachSpeak

8/15/19 5:00pm

Yes, this is the "bubble" they live in.

Kerbouchard

8/15/19 10:25pm

Completely agree. They sit and do nothing to increase fanship and keep what they

So true. We're all fans but we also work hard for our money and don't want to

cougarnerd

This athletic department has taken fans for granted for too long and its killing

Backcountry

8/15/19 3:29pm

I've never felt "taken for granted." What do you think they should be doing?

Level43

8/15/19 3:42pm

They can start by not botching Big 12 negotiations twice and beating Utah once

Backcountry

8/15/19 5:55pm

Dont forget late night kickoffs. people dont like getting home at 1-2 am.

I ask myself one question: What time is the game?

RockyBalboa

Mine isn’t so much PTSD as it it being superstitious. The Cougars have lost the majority of the games I’ve attended in

A few more data points that aren't helping:

deliciousmocha

Boring & bad offense + bad losses to poor programs = declining attendance

Why the contrast to Utah? I don't care about Utah or their fans

Judge Judy

8/15/19 5:14pm

You know why. They are the direct recruiting competition and the rival.

Backcountry

8/15/19 5:59pm

Your post discusses the product. The other part of the equation is cost.

So true. They need to know that we prefer wins and that we want Notre Dame

chazen

Prefer? Fans demand wins. Someone tell the coaches/admin quickly.
