If there's an opening with steps then it's not as big a deal. I've never seen such modification before and didn't consider that as being a possibility. I was just thinking about the court storming when we won the Valley for the first time in forever and students had to vacate the student section and enter from behind the visitors bench and same section across the court. That just made no sense for cheerleaders.

Yeah I’m going to need some proof. That sounds like someone took a sarcastic comment of “where are we going to cheer? From the stands? What’s next, asking us to serve food?” and took it literally.Originally posted by BostonWu View PostPeople who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do. -Isaac Asimov

The ladies on TSF are absolutely up in arms over this. The TSF mantra of "thou shalt not say anything that could possibly be considered negative" seems to have gone out the window over this issue. Lots of parents and former cheerleaders/dance squad members jumping into the conversation.
Lots of complaints about how hard they worked for heir scholarships and how little they get (funding) from the athletic department.
Scholarships? Hard work? Send them to one of Mills basketball practices. Better yet have them attend one of Marshall's practices. Funding from the athletic department? The athletic department pays for their trips to the contests they enter?
Then one chimed in with how they could spend so much more on cheer/dance if they weren't wasting their money paying former coaches. They're lucky there's still an athletic department to fund them after the mess BoatyBoatBoat left, and that we now have an athletic Director trying to work his way out of a huge financial hole.
Bigger pity party out there than when they heard Marshall may have been mean to Shaq.The future's so bright - I gotta wear shades.

Sheer ignorance. They have no clue in this era what it takes to run successful D1 athletic and basketball programs. Nor do they care to hear the unfiltered truth - no one is there to see anything other than a competitive basketball team. Sorry girls, we're going to have to ask you to relocate out of what little prime real estate we have to offer wealthy donors.Comment

If they're that upset, maybe they should be exploring some of their own NIL deals. I may have some ideas.Comment

My favorite seats were directly behind the bench. You just see and here things you wouldn't otherwise. I like the seats I have now best of all. I LOVED the floor seats with no one in front of me for a variety of reasons, but in my younger days. I wouldn't want them now. I will say having the appearance of the spirit squad performing just for you can be a bonus.Comment

The whole moving them for premium seating things is meh. Not a big deal.
Though if the "asking them to serve food to the premium seats" is actually true. That's definitely something to be upset about. I'm guessing that part isn't trueComment

If was a cheerleader or dance team member I volunteer to shag food and drinks for the premium seat holders. I imagine the tips would be pretty good.Originally posted by Stickboy46 View Post

I think it's absolutely ridiculous myself. But I have a different perspective than most. I won't air it all out on here cause most here won't care so it's not worth it.
Oh and sorry, but the coach many of you love doesn't coach there anymore. Too bad for all you ODB's LMAO"He called me around noon and was thrilled," Brandt said. "He said he was going to be a Shocker forever." -- RIP Guy, you WILL indeed be a Shocker forever!Comment

They raise all of their own money as it is. University doesn't really give them anything or do anything for them.Originally posted by WuDrWu View Post"He called me around noon and was thrilled," Brandt said.

Having had a step-daughter in competitive and school cheer, I can understand both perspectives.Originally posted by shockerfan View Post
Cheer and dance has been a fixture of major school sports for a very long time. So I don't begrudge them for being upset at the changes. I also have to wonder how safe it is to do anything but stand and cheer where there's uneven concrete. That said, I think they'll be even more visible in the front of the student section than on the floor.
If they are being asked to deliver food, the cheer and dance programs should be compensated from the proceeds of those seat sales.Comment

Yeah without a doubt the food delivery thing is ridiculous. They are not employees or servantsOriginally posted by RoyalShock View PostBrummett throws, STRUCK HIM OUT! THE SHOCKERS ARE NATIONAL CHAMPIONS! AN UNBELIEVABLE STORY!Comment

Are we sure the ones complaining the most aren’t the adults who’ve been in the front row of the student section for the last 20 years?Comment
