[QUOTE="33jacket, post: 201199, member: 628"] Oh Boy. Engineers are cheap. So by default our fanbase is a bunch of tight wads. Its just true. I have observed this a ton...but you can't let that dictate being creative. 1 - Increase recruiting staff from 3 to 6 in football. 2 - Host remote camps in Florida at jesuit in tampa and in S florida. 3 - Host remote camps in GA in the gainesville macon and valdosta areas 4 - Push and work with the school on a more lenient sliding scale with relation to standardized testing, GPA, and allow the AD and HC to be accountable for misses in their contract through pay penalties if they take too many chances and miss. Its a risk reward option for the coach to decide on. Status quo and no penalty. Get an aggressive coach....says hey I want to bring in 5 more exceptions a class....then if those classes are statistically worse than the team avg prior...he has a pay penalty. He doesn't have to do this....but can...its his call. But allow the option and make him accountable. 5 - Change BDS seat rules. First, on premium seats, arrange for a one time PSL option. A big number....but you pay one time and have it for life. Folks who don't want to do that, in the same seat, can pay a license year by year as well, but over the long haul (TBD based on how the numbers work...easy to figure out I just don't have the data) will cost them more than the first. For non-premium seats, keep the current methods but remove required donations in some sections that are continually undersold. In bad sections, have a cheap season ticket only price of $80 a seat. But that same seat non-season ticket game to game is face value. This helps solidify more season ticket purchases....yes less face value money...but concessions and potential for future influx is better. The fact is, if a product isn't selling, and inventory is high, you lower prices...to get some revenue. Its simple commodity approach, which is what seats are at GT. 6 - repurpose space in BDS currently the players lounge, and make it a GT SA therapy center, with full time staff massage tables and spa like atmosphere...call it medical and therapy and make it a perk; compete with the big boys on gimmics. Roll the concept in with the school to make a sports therapy minor as part of a current degree. 7 - sign a contract with a shoe AND apparel company...not Russell...nike, Adidas, reebok etc...whoever... 8 - hire new softball coach. 9 - hire new volleyball coach 10 - Entertain talks with the Big 10 and SEC.
