Alumni and students don't support the baseball team at BYU.
The only people that usually support college baseball teams are families of current players and a few former players.

I send a check each January to Marist Baseball and that is how I support it. I'd love to see them play, but it just isn't very easy to travel across the country to catch a game. Had I played out here or if I lived back there, I'd be sure to attend games.
