BBall is half and half anyway. Sometimes 2/3rds.
Still don't understand this though. It used to always be full. Of course, back then we didn't play for the wymyn.
I imagine once SMU basketball is big time again it will go back to full band for men's games.
Hey, the women deserve some support, too! I've seen some pretty darn good women's NCAA Bball over the years.
I know they do split the band into 2 pep bands that rotate between men's and women's, but I think they also try to give some credit for those who step up for the holiday break games to even out performance time.

I enjoy playing with the Alumni band on holiday games.

Sorry, I didn't mean at the expense of the women! I imagine when they start playing BIG EAST some of the women's basketball will be awesome!
I was insinuating there would be more demand and desire to watch the men once we are back in the Top 25 consistently so they will have close to a full band at most games.

No offense taken. I suspect the full band would perform more if they could find more scholarship money, but I admit that I've only heard that the scholarships aren't much.
