Eh. It’s early they will sell them out if they win. They have had some pretty big games over the last two years that haven’t filled up their stadium at home. College Football in the west just mean nearly what it does in the Midwest or south. I’m not surprised.
The Seattle Times this morning said they had sold out their allotment for the title game.
I read an article a day or two ago that said "sold" is a relative term. Lots of tickets given to sponsors and VIPs, most of the rest sold to corporate groups and donors. Expectation was that general fans wouldn't have much opportunity to get seats...and their price starts at about $1,100/seat. Those who get the opportunity and have the money will also have to pay $1,000 and rising for flights.
100? Its only been 30 for the Mutts. I told my BIL he better get his ass down there, because in another 30 he may not be able to due to being old and cripple or in the ground already.
It’s also cringy that they are in the NC to begin with. Especially when they shoulda lost 2+ games.
But they didn't. Just like we didn't lose to UCLA, USC and Arizona in 1997, and we damn well could have.
Me too.
What, we’re gonna rise above it?
CWU Tier? You mean Division II? C'mon buddy, that is ridiculous. We will merge or reverse merge with the Mtn West. No way will we ever descend to the Big Sky, let alone DII.
There is a shrinking birth rate and the births we have are increasingly coming from cultures with minimal football interest, there is declining youth football participation, college enrollment is already down 10% this decade, many private colleges have folded, the $$$ value of higher ed has clearly plummeted and is perhaps a very poor value for the majority of students overall.
There is no way college football is going to settle for 30 tier 1 programs. There are too many large fan bases of the programs ranked in the 30-70 range to be ignored.
It's no longer about CFB, it's about viewers. And it's not about fans, it's about the ad sales and casual bettors. The networks run the conferences and the conference commissioners are TV people. They'll concentrate down to the smallest number of programs they can. Probably not 30, but 40ish seems likely.
This right here. The amount of classes that you have to take that have ZERO to do with any sort of career field that most engage in really do eat into the value of a 4 year degree. I understand that these extracurricular classes have a different sort of value by learning about the world around us but the universities are breeding grounds for victimhood mentality and progressive nonsense.
I disagree. The number will be more like 65. The viewership numbers of the top 30-40 teams playing only each other won't be there, and the networks know it.
I'm sitting here scratching my head trying to remember the GUR's I took at WSU. Need to go find my transcript I guess. I can name off all the business classess.
Those are the colleges that are all about feelings, not facts. They’re the kind of places where people learn that if you don’t like what someone said, or how they said it, then they’ve harmed you. Or, if you feel like you’re a woman, you can decide to be one.
They also know/ knew that WSU is a top 15 school for total viewership, but that didn't get us a seat at the table.
Or, if you feel like you’re a woman, you can decide to be one.
But WSU hasn't been trying to state "we are the greatest"... we haven't been egotistical cock smokers acting like we are above everyone. (Bow Down to Michigan now assholes)
Yep. And sychophant Gonzaga took their side, and still partners with uw on medicine, even though they are right next door to our medical/nursing campus in Spokane. Where the F is the Spokane professional community on this anyway?.
