It was disappointing that president Ghastley was not a sports fan, since she actually was a varsity T&F athlete at USC. I suspect she and Pete Likens were the only Varsity Collegiate athletes among the last 5 Presidents. Obviously downturn in attendance could not be her fault entirely, but it can’t be pure coincidence that the biggest declines were her years.

Because Allentown and Bethlehem stadiums are used by 3 schools each there will be occasional competition from those games, but really, otherwise fall HS sports are not played on Saturday night. yeah, there will still be playoff baseball and FBS football on TV. Students have more to do Saturday afternoons than in the 60s – 80s, more club sports for one thing, but usually Saturday night is for partying. Let them party in the north parking light. (heck I could even see a “local band” in the North parking lot for an hour or two after the game)

Remember that home football games and wrestling meets use to be “all university events” few activities were to be scheduled opposite them.
