BigSteve Posted April 24 Group: Member Topic Count: 1 Content Count: 137 Reputation: 67 Days Won: 0 Joined: 04/09/2024 Share Posted April 24 I‘m not impressed by Fowler Ave. I wrote them an email with some questions and no response. I am ready to give $100/month but I need some communication and assurance. No one seems to have numbers to share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember this is comp to the students, there's some degree of privacy on the part of the students and teams as a whole. I don't have numbers but I know the NIL has absolutely made a difference and allowed us to keep/recruit some recognizable names that will help us win 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is still a risk/reward game - the economics must work for both sides. Orlando FC is averaging ~19k fans per game in a 25k seat stadium. They have the ability to offer rev share splits to c for whatever payout - to the collective, to the school, etc, to boost attendance. The Lightning do not have empty seats (although I would expect Vinik to 100% be on board with something like this). The Bucs haven't either, but that could be slowly changing as the Brady/Super Bowl fever wears off. The Rays could do this today, and I expect as USF continues to increase support/momentum/media coverage, the Rays could very well be interested. Stu poses other difficulties - his heart isn't in Tampa Bay at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
