I am so glad that the people that post OUT OF CUSA posts aren't the ones making the decisions in the Athletics department. I've been buying season tickets for about 15 years. (Even in the beginning when you didn't even really need a ticket cause the comfort inn kept a stack to give away....haha). I don't always know what my schedule is going to be like as a pastor. I do hate missing games...but I buy the season tickets anyway and usually I can go to them or I miss one and give the tickets away. The CUSA deal is great revenue for the schools, it's great exposure. It will probably only affect 1 home game...some years maybe 2. Next year as of now we have 7 home games instead of six. So people that are saying they may 'cancel their season tickets"....they're not going to do it. They are going to think about it and buy them anyway. We might even have a bigger student section for the weeknight game each year. CUSA made a pretty good media deal with double it's current payout and with two known media partners. And yet people complain. Most of the complaints involve somekind of fantasy that we will receive another conference invite or that we can just continue scheduling independent as if we were inserting games on a EA Sports schedule. It isn't going to happen. In the meantime, this looks like a good media deal for CUSA.
