At this point in the season, this is not unique to Iowa. UCLA had large sections courtside open earlier on Monday(?) and Oregon had lots of empty seats last night against Portland. But yeah, I would cut the student section back until the students prove that they deserve it. Problem is, they probably sold the tickets, the students just don't bother to show up until the conference season shows up, if they do at all.What should Beth do?
Do you give the students too many seats close to the floor, all around the arena, where it looks even worse than what we are seeing now?
Or, do you make it a smaller section for now (with better seats) and see if the students start filling that?
