I’m also class of 80 and feel the same as XUGRAD80. The connection with the mercenary players of today just isn’t there. I really enjoyed watching the kids develop over their 3-4 year career at X. That won’t happen in the NIL era as currently in effect. Given that X has already said that ticket prices and AFO required contributions are going up, I’m seriously considering not renewing. The amount of the increase will probably be the deciding factor. And this is after upgrading my seats last year to be 8 rows from the floor.

I heard this same sentiment from a 30 year season ticket holder here at ASU. I posted it a couple of times, but I expect to read it and hear it a lot more.

Maybe they'll be replaced by new fans who prefer things the new way. Guess we'll have to wait and see. I can tell you fan apathy is VERY high here in Wichita. Lots of people I know who lived and died with the Shockers back in the day don't even follow the team anymore, and what was always a full house (well before Marshall briefly turned them into a powerhouse) is about half full on average now. A sad situation here.

I can understand the sentiment.

Winning will convince people to stay. While I'm open to a new path, the program success needs to get back to what it was (and hopefully better). But if the next few years are similar to the past 8, alot of people will be evaluating the same renewal decision.

This is from Goodman so take it with a grain of salt but this is what he came up with after speaking to 25 ish High Major Coaches:

Top 10-15 guys: 2.5 to 4 million
Projected All Conference: 1.5 to 2.5 million
Projected Starter: 500k-million
Bench: 200k-700k

5 million isn't what it used to be lol

Before Covid I used to get back to Cincinnati pretty much every year for a game. Covid ended that, obviously, and now I just don’t care enough to go to Cincinnati during the winter.

I hope we can get back to where I can enjoy this like I used to.

Prices are inflated because this is potentially the last year of straight booster pay for rosters.

Incentive is heavy to spend big and cut all your checks before the House settlement potentially takes effect in July and booster-pay becomes illegal.

Yeah I just don’t get it. Saw it’s estimated around 15 or so schools will be dropping 10 mil plus.

Hugley commits to Duquesne. Injuries just too much for him, or a complete lack of confidence? Hope he does well his last year but man did he drop off from that year at pitt

This absolutely shocks me. I was hoping Hugley would return since I'm convinced you can never have enough big guys. Maybe Pinto let him know he wasn't part of the plan? Hopefully he scores 40 vs Dayton!

I'm interested to see when the football schools who are now basketball schools will switch back. Auburn had a great team but they finished at the bottom of the SEC football rankings. Alabama had a great basketball team but mised the football playoff. Certainly the basketball NIL could have been used for a receiver or DE or qb that would have improved the team.

The ticket renewal emails went out today. Looks like my ticket prices are unchanged but the AFO amount went up $50 per seat. That’s not bad.
