Don't worry about it.. the $80 will just get financed into your student loans, you'll never even notice it.


With all that negativity why did you waste a valued spot at USF? Aren't there still community colleges or trade schools you could attend?

He shouldn’t have to...how about you upping your Bulls Club donation by $160 a year, after all...you’ll never even notice it.

I tend to agree with you on the cost of stadium. Does seem ridiculously to keep throwing the fees on students. 

Given we struggle with attendance playing inferior competition I'd recommend we look for a 4-5 home game season and take the pay day from the extra games to help offset the costs. Win Win Win - better competition, more money, and better attendance at limited games.

I think the last two seasons have proven that winning isn't the total cure for attendance woes.

We need an OCS, and we need it now.

I think OCS is great - but not sure that is cure either. I think we need compelling competition.

That would take a lot of games and a lot years.

It’s a mixture of winning and the competition IMO. Look no further than ‘07 - 09 where we averaged around 40,000 butts in seats and 50,000 announced each year.
