I think they pander to this "huge alumni base" in Charlotte who don't contribute or engage in App athletics. Hope it works out for them. I agree though, it's better in Boone.
not sure why in quotes. Mecklenburg county is our largest contingent of alumni, Its also where a fair amount of our unaffiliated fans live.
I like playing at BoA once every 5-7 years. IMO we should have told UNCC for a long term deal it needed to be 1-1-1 or more games in Boone since we average over double what they do and our opportunity cost is much greater than theirs to sign a straight H-H.
Of course Gillen seems inclined to help out UNCC for some reason.
If you live in Charlotte, I'm sure you love it there and don't get tired of the attention. If you don't, and I don't, you get tired of hearing about this vast untapped potential that is Charlotte.
I'm at the coast and have a home in Boone. The rest of the state, including Charlotte, is fly-over country. I would prefer our games in Boone because that's where my house is and it's pretty nice up there.
That’s great and all and congrats on the coast/mountains arrangement.
But with all due respect, nobody cares what you personally are tired of. Charlotte and to a small lesser extent Raleigh are where the people and money are. If we want to continue growing our brand and university we will be very active in Charlotte.
Actually if you are talking about household income I believe Raleigh is higher. Of course Alum giving is not one of our strong points regardless of location.
