Is our season over

[CajunT]

can you honestly say the ticket sales requirement is not technically a buy

It is for every bowl game right? There is no buy in for the NIT or the NCAA.

Will we try for another tourney? Question for both Ladies and Men!

I hope so it's time for Eli to get back where he belongs.

The Prophet doesn't need spring practice. Let him play a couple more weeks of basketball.

I seem to recall after a particularly long bowl drought (by their standards) how LSU guaranteed the Peach Bowl 17,000 tickets would be sold if they were invited.

They were invited.

I understand what you are saying, but you are fronting $50K with the hopes of recouping as you advance, that my friend is buy in. It may not be the term people want to use or hear, but it's the same as buying into an investment, just with the promise of a better return. If it wasn't a buy in then you would not be fronting $50K to host a game unlike the NIT.

isn't there upfront costs for every game? or anything an entity does in general, have to hire concessions workers, ticket takers, security, game officials, every single game has upfront costs. even the academic year has upfront costs, the teachers are hired even if the students don't show up. let's get on with it!
