Very much agree with all your points.
I would add maybe there is an element of general apathy towards Missouri basketball and college BB in general. Following Mizzou recruiting is reaching the pointless stage as we discuss endlessly recruits we NEVER get. Martin....boring style of play .
Why can’t we get over the hump? The players just aren’t good enough, and don’t play sound enough.
College basketball is now maybe 5 -15 teams who get most all the elite players. All other teams are now playing for “reaching the tournament” and hoping to finish 2nd or 3rd in their conference. If you can keep enough 3 or 4 years players , maybe you can squeeze in a pretty nice year on occasion.
The early season schedule, for 75% of those games why would a fan spend time or money on that.
Final point , and I think a very important one... TV over exposure ruins the aura .There was a time when seeing your team on TV was special , and attending the game allowed you to see something you otherwise wouldn’t get to. Now it’s mismatched teams on TV 6 hours a night for months.
Life long fan .
