I guess it depends on how you define school spirit. When I was at Lehigh something like one in five students were division one athletes or in direct support activities like band, cheerleading, dance team, trainers, etc. At a smaller school like Bucknell or Lafayette the percentage is even greater. So if there aren't a ton of people who live and die by the results of every sporting event then a part of it might be that lots of them are busy actually contributing something of substance to that effect or making up for lost study time.
Plus, your daughter's less than a year at the school has included the worst season in ages for the wrestling team, an uncharacteristically mediocre football team and a typically craptacular basketball team. Everyone loves a winner!
