I may be overestimating the critical thinking abilities of those you're talking about but I really don't think any of them would be stupid enough to ***** about ticket pricing ........ I think any serious criticism would be about the just mentioned priority process.

Speechless. The day we sit in that stadium for its opening, we'll be shedding some tears, boys.

The BOG is the last step in the process. I believe their vote is a formality since we are not asking for State money in order to build the OCS. I would say the vibe around athletics is

There has been a good deal of activity on the OCS site over the past week. There have been engineering crews taking soil samples in numerous locations for the site. There was also a survey crew at the

I don't think anyone thar wants to get tickets will complain about the price. If someone doesn't want to spend the possible increased price of tickets at the ocs then they can save their money and spend it elsewhere. I am more concerned  about winning then the cost of tickets. People that want season tickets at the ocs and make history will spend the money and people  that do not want to get ocs season tickets  can still root for the bulls at their house or favorite sports bar. Personally  I will be more than happy to spend more money on season tickets  for a decent team  any days than donate any money to NIL  .

Well yes that may happen (but they will still complain on price) - so not criticizing but look. Fan A has had tickets and donated $500 a year for the last 10 years. Fan B (new) donates a $1000 and jumps Fan A? I don't get vocal about a lot but USF knows my feelings on this. I am hopeful they make the best decision for USF and their loyal fans.

Just donated to the Fowler Ave thing today because that will lead to a winning team much more than the stadium. The ironic thing is that money given to the NIL won't count toward any priority stuff with seating at the OCS. If those seat donation numbers are accurate we'll more than likely be watching from home or I'm going to have to ask the people that we buy seats for to kick in those $$$. We've been covering the seat donations for everyone to this point and just ask for them to reimburse us for the tickets.

I think both will help. The OCS should help bring more support to USF which may help donate more towards NIL….

Not sure about that. People like us are limited in the amount of funds we have for this type stuff. If the cost of seat donations for football will be much as it costs to be an Iron Bull now, I'm not sure where we'd get the money to give more to NIL or WBB, MGolf and MSoccer. That's just us. Maybe you're in a different financial situation than many.

That's going to be a tough call ...... maybe lump the lower $ levels into one pool and then go by longevity.

they won't, honestly they need the revenue now. Fan A will still stay in front of Fan B if they move up to the same 1,000 dollar level.

we also started doing a small recurring monthly donation to the Fowler Ave thing. Seems like a worthy cause and I am proud to contribute.
