I can see both sides on this. The school not wanting to invest the money is one thing but I definitely think more students would go if given the option of riding on a party bus to the game. That is what we called them on our way to Texas Stadium back in the day.

Were those organized by the athletic department or the fraternities? I am guessing if people want to party on the bus to the game they should not rely on the school to organize the bus.

it wouldn't be bad idea for a nominal fee. Probably wouldn't take more than 1 bus I got a feeling-if more sign up get a second. These are our best fans why not assist them

Attendance in garland will be minimal anyway - they are throwaway games from that perspective

I think, if I remember, they were fraternity buses. So, win win. No school funds expended and fraternites have an oppourtunity to flaunt their stuff. Problem solved.

Say what you want about the student body but its unacceptable to not provide transportation to a supposed "home game" that is a ways away from campus. Students are excited for basketball, suck it up and pay for a couple buses smu and maybe dont build another fountain on campus if its a cost issue.

Why in the world would we not pay to bus our students to these HOME games? We rode busses to the 5/6 home football games at the CB, what's the difference? Ridiculous that athletics assumes kids can just find a way to get off campus. Take the liability out of having drunk students driving on freeways, let them get their buzz on, and haul their butts out to Garland on a comfy coach; we are talking about two busses here.

Is the band paying their own way out there?

You have said exactly what I was going to say. Everyone has the option of going on their own if they wish but we had buses to the CB when I was there. I cringe to think what will happen when a kid is killed in a wreck (drunk or not) for a trip to a home game when there were no other options. If you at least have the option then you cannot be blamed if someone goes on their own and has a wreck. This may sound stupid but in this everyone sue everyone world the chance is there.

I think the Athletic Department is paying for band and cheer, so at least that is something, but you are definitely getting the point across of what I didn't want to out right say. Take some liability out of the equation.

mrydel, you make too much sense.

I went into student senate yesterday and mentioned this and they are now looking to take care of it and provide buses.

I had not thought of school funding outside of the Athletic Department. Great thinking!
