OCS Proponents, you have CWT in your corner now

Students will not be the deciding factor on an OCS or not, it will be the people that make the donations to get the right to buy tickets that will.

Sports Illustrated had a study/articles years ago that showed if college students don't attend games (football and basketball) while they are enrolled at school, chances decrease dramatically that they would become alumni season tix holders/boosters.

That same study showed that winning wasn't the major factor because those.students that didn't attend many if any games at very successful programs (like Georgia), odds we're.still much less that they would support their.school after graduation.

Thats why an on-campus stadium can have 50 plus year $$ figure for every student that gets hook on their schools team.

More students that attend creates more future boosters/season tix holders that will pay oof for 50 plus years.

NOTE: Many on campus.stadiums today are 80 plus years old (just renovated and expanded over the years)

We all know that eventually, there will be an OCS. Eventually. One day. On TBP, two camps: one which can wait indefinitely, and one which wants it yesterday. And those fellas on Fowler Avenue aren't idiots. They know what to say. So what if the OCS is on the back burner for another decade? Two of the agenda items above breaking ground are: return to back-to-back winning seasons to include post season play and drop to bended knee to recover season ticket sales.

I think the point made by CWT was JUST WIN and the rest will fall into place.  I don't think he said an OCS is top priority; top priority is WINNING!

If college students don't attend classes, chances decrease dramatically that they would become alumni.

 

Did SI really need a study to come up with that fairly obvious, common sense assessment??

Déjà vu, (/ËŒdeɪʒɑˠˈvuË/) from French, literally "already seen", is the phenomenon of having the strong sensation that an event or experience currently being experienced has been experienced in the past, whether it has actually happened or not.

Admittedly it's been a while since I pulled out the dictionary for etymology and pronunciation, but how in fiery blazes to you pronounce a 13 as a "j"?
