This post should be a sticky post in the threadI will probably throw GTAA a donation to make up some of the difference but I don't buy GTFB season tickets anymore. They charge me $100/game for seats I can grab on Seatgeek for $20 the morning of. I pick and choose which games I attend these days also but mainly because there is little appeal in attending in person (and yes I realize the irony of this). It's not really even a results thing for me - I'm just not super interested in roasting/sobering up in the sun in an empty, quiet stadium and losing the rest of my Saturday when I can watch at home.
A couple friends (who admittedly aren't super hardcore) who sat next to me for MBB last year ate enormous losses and didn't renew this year because of it. If they want to attend, they'll buy single game tickets off StubHub and just sit next to me since nobody goes to the games anyway. It's a shame because games in McCamish are stupidly fun with a strong home crowd and it would be a very hot ticket if the team was competitive. Texas Tech used to be the same as us - that arena would be empty. Beard leads them to an Elite 8 and Final 4 and now it's the most raucous gym in college basketball.
Can we be competitive in NIL ?
The point of diminishing returns has arrived.
