Sports at NU

I was at lunch this morning with two other athletes and a non athlete and we were talking about our seasons and what we had to do in the spring to train for the fall. Then the girl that was with us who doesn't play sports asked why there wasn't any sort of announcements or a newspaper that lets the general population know about when there are games and matches other than football. We thought about it and because we all live with different sport athletes we just naturally know about games that are coming up but there is nothing to inform the rest of the student body about when we play. Then one of the athlete says "it's because they don't care" i think that is a HUGE part of why we don't have newspapers and flyers everywhere, the student body doesn't go to our games. A volleyball match may have 200 people in the stands on average, wrestling, half that. Football naturally has more but even then it's nothing compared to other schools.
Why is that?

There are standardized tests that collegiate atheletes preform at the end of a conditioning period that test your over all athletic ability. You do not have to be good at the actual sport or any aspect of specific play, you just have to be an athelete. I may not be the best volleyball player in the nation but I consider myself extremely athletic. We had this debate in class about physical athletes looking better and being better at the sport than fundamental athletes. When we tested I proved that I was an athlete but that does not necessarily translate to me being a great volleyball player.
I don't think that it's fair to say that to be good at a sport you must be athletic. It may "look" asthetically more pleasing but may not get the job done.
