In the last decade most programs have half of what they used to across the board and no one can find coaches as HS students don't work anymore and the corporate culture has quickly pounced on predatory and intelligent free labor otherwise known as college internships. 5-10 years ago only engineers and select majors from top universities were doing internships their last couple summers, now communication majors "have" to start after their freshman year.
You also have to be able to step outside your generation and understand that while you and I may have grown up with 12 channels and nintendo. Current crop has unbelievable instant choice for entertainment via Netflix/xbox/ipad/internet with zero commercials nor scheduling around live events/times.
