2026-27 Season

[vanmeter]

I reupped for Mens, Womens ($150 Season ticket courtside) and Football. I told Drew from fundraising that I do not plan on making any donation to men's basketball unless they pick up 2 significant portal additions going forward.

[doubledribble]

Is anyone here among the contingent that will re-up prior to May 1?

I'm curious about the level of fandom when you don't really know what you're buying yet, with open spots on the roster and open dates on the schedule.

Yes, I re-upped. I've stopped giving donations, but I'll still go to games because a) I like being there even if the team isn't particularly good, and b) it's the middle of winter, what else am I supposed to do if I don't go?

I re-upped too..have had season tix since 1974 thru thick & thin.
Your thoughts are exactly like mine.

How local are those who re upped? If I was local I may have considered, but what they've put on the floor the past 4 yrs isn't worth the drive out for me. Maybe a random game here or there

[69MG]

^ I'm an hour away. That's doable.

I re-upped from 1,536 miles away.
My seats do get used.
re donating, we are annually fulfilling our commitment ea January.
However. I am rethinking the where-to, within our Men's
Hoops obligation.
I've come up with an idea to share, in particular re payments to players.
I do not like the NIL and will not support it.
However, scholarship money towards players who need it is in my thinking...specifically towards players who come to UM as Frosh and stay at least three years.
Designate money towards their school costs...room, board & tuition, but only beginning in their Junior and Senior year's after they have been here as Frosh & Soph.

I don’t like NIL but I do like your idea!
Are you sure it’s 1536 miles & not 1533 ?

How did hockey do?

I'm in the Pioneer Valley. I totally understand people walking away at this point, especially if it's a hike. For me, it's the dead of winter, I like basketball, and it's not a hassle to get there so I'll keep going.

Likewise! What else you gonna do in Winter? I go to all the basketball and hockey games

[LS71]

I'm no longer a STH in any sport, but I do go to hockey and both men's and women's hoops games as schedules permit.
