Why does football get more attention than any other sport on campus? They have a homecoming game, a spirit week, and a massive following from the student body.

Wrestling, soccer, and basketball do not get a dance for any of their specific games, nor does baseball, volleyball, or track in the spring. There is no spring sport that claims prom, mainly because prom is typically in late April or early May.

Football should not get more attention than any of the other sports. Their homecoming
game is great for boosting school spirit and pride, but is unfair to any of the
other sports that do not get as much attention from the students, namely cross
country and golf. The majority of fans at these matches and races are family and people
working the event.

To have half as many people that go to a  football game or even half of the fans at a girls volleyball game show up at a [cross country] race or a [golf] match would skyrocket the puma athletes’ morale and desire to win.

I would rather that my graduating class has the best academic standing of any class for the next 100 years and be remembered that way than having the best varsity football team.
