If we built a stadium and hosted a big name then guess what the students would not get free tickets.
They are not free at any Big 12 Venue as far as I know.

Geez, do you not know that the student fees are one of the main revenue sources for NT athletics. In fact if more students decided to take advantage of this and went to the games; NT would be forced to build bigger venues to accomodate the students and maintain their outside ticket sales.

Our guarantee at UT is $285K, LSU was $400K last year and they would go as high as $600K on a new deal. The only difference is a turnaround plane ride vs. a bus trip. This is exactly the reason that UT had to schedule Sam Houston later in the season. They only give big time guarantees to competitive programs like Ohio State.

Are you sure about the UT amount?

Because unless my math is wrong, we could (in theory) get some 1-AA program to open at Fouts. And if we drew 16K reserved seats @ $18, we would make 288,000 just from the gate. If we did some decent promotions, we could get 18K to 20K and get $324,00 and $360,000 respectively (gross) from the gate.

I thought our "take" from Texas was more likel $500,000. No ?

And by the way, how does the "guarantee" differ from what we actually go home with ? If the $285K figure is the Guarantee, do we stand to make more if the Texas gamje should sell out ? (I know... it WILL sell out)
