Support your schools athletics

Many students on the campus of Northern Illinois University complain about the schools athletics and how badly some of the programs are doing. If more of the 26,000 enrolled in Northern would come and support their programs they would reap the benefits of division one programs. More fans at both men's and women's basketball games will show Sport Broadcasters that NIU fans want to see there teams play and more of the games will be broadcast on national television. Currently only receives national television during the football season and the school earns millions of dollars, but not enough to fund the many projects that have been introduced to fix problems around the university. If NIU students can sell out the Convocation Center during both men's and women's basketball games this seasons the school will receive million of dollars. The money earned can go towards things such as better dorms on campus, More state of the art technology, and even building a pool in the recreation center. I challenge all students to attend on game this year and Everyone will see the benefits of supporting our teams. Besides what else is there to do on Tuesday and Friday nights before everyone goes out and parties.
