Rice vs SMU Groupon ($17)

Might as well "share" it to your Facebook status. Over 13 bought so, you know, this thing has legs.

It says "Dallas Groupon" when I click the link so, ??? I don't really use Groupon, my wife just tells me what we/she bought.

can't sell tickets for under $10 and have them count for attendance. it's a 60/40 split w/ SMU getting 60% to get just over $10 so that these tickets can count for attendance numbers

That is true, Dutch, but maybe we should decide that having actual attendance > announced attendance is OK. Particularly true for this game, IMO.

I think that if you somehow could legally make the tickets a tax deduction, people might come lol

uh, they did this with season tickets. half the cost is a tax-deductible contribution to a 401(c)(3)
