Yeah, good thing we have that $20,000,000 annual TV contract to make up the massive revenue gap with the P-5 conferences with the door closing on the opportunity to even play at a meaningful level into the future.

Hardly justifying $6,000 just for the privilege of 4 seats and not including the $4,000 for the season tickets.

And as previous poster said above, the programs need financial support to keep up. You cannot deny support and still expect the product to improve, that is arrogant in itself, rather than some increases to help make the product better.

Parky displays the attitude that confuses me. Claims to be a fan - but doesn't like the things that come with success - like in basketball regarding reseating. And assuming we are one and done with what we have coming back displays some serious lack of basketball knowledge.

I have a pretty strong hunch you wont be that missed. We start getting any kind of traction and your money is easily replaced, and the attitude is a negative so it might be fine having you sit home.

Have you thought about buying less expensive seats?

Parkies can't be seen in the cheap seats. Someone at the club will start rumors.

With that kind of attitude I assume that your seats are likely empty for the 2nd half of every game anyway, regardless of the score.

With the pace Morris is on you'll be back or replaced soon enough.

Bye.

Good riddance, you're probably one of those people at the games telling everyone around you to sit down and be quiet.

Or the one that shows up in the 2nd quarter and leaves at half to go to the suites.

What a joke if that is truly the reason you decided not to get season tickets. Its people/fans like you that will be to blame if this thing is dead or stuck in D1AA.

Anybody got a count of how many tickets we've sold so far? Are we on an UPTEMPO pace?

I dropped last year due to June. Back in this year.

4 Football
2 Basketball

I asked the ticket office, but they said they didn't have any numbers, but it was more than last year.
