Why is no one talking about the re-seating at Moody?

$1MM donation is probably payable over 4 to 5 years.

Whew, that's a relief.

Wonder what Jank thinks about this whole thing.

Especially if the basketball re-seat is just an effort to cover the Football program deficits at the cost of fan support for SMU Mens Basketball.

So far, I really don't see exactly how this impacts SMU Basketball in a positive way. I guess you could make some sort of trickle down argument in relation to the overall funds being raised...

There's gonna be less butts in seats. The only question is how many fewer, and none of us know.

More overall AD funds and nothing tangible being taken away from hoops so I doubt Jank is concerned.

Yes, not complaining at all about the new structure for giving. It makes more sense.
But agree -- a year-to-year comparison for Moody-related donations is impossible now.
The only true metric is going to be butts in seats, something we won't see until November.

Even that metric might be skewed initially, just because the people that did get new seats may be more excited to use them... the following years will be more telling. (Or possibly later in the season, if - God forbid - the team struggles.) My completely unscientific anecdotal evidence says that most of the people not renewing were the long-term (as in at least pre-Larry Brown) season ticket holders.

You are correct. I am one of those before Larry Brown fan who is not renewing.

Same here - and I go back to Dement time period. What was that - 5 head coaches ago?

More $$$$. So great to know they will be donating this much every year to keep their seats too! #PonyUp

Thank you to Bill Manor & Cathy Prewitt Manor, son-in-law & daughter of legendary @SMUBasketball Coach Bob Prewitt, for stepping up their giving as a result of the Moody Coliseum Reseat! We’re thankful for all your family has done for @SMU and for your generosity! #MustangFamily

With eight days left to go there's 1138 Mustang members. I bet they do generate more dollars.

Check out that top donor level blows are measly donations away.

Last year they only had three $60,000 donors. That's $2.1 million mas. Dammit that team better win lol

They are a money making machine. Hats off to them. There are 102 donors with access to the club. Exclusivity is what we do!

But I’m right in saying that this new list includes people who gave capital gifts to athletic purposes. Those weren’t on the MC list last year correct?

1,138 members, how many does seats does Moody have, say 7,000.

Seems like a sellout to me.

Well you buy more than one ticket don't you
