Nope. When NIL was created I said this would happen. It would increase ticket prices, concessions etc..... I was laughed at ridiculed for it. I was told it was optional if you didn't like it, don't donate. I was right it's increasing ticket prices just like I said it would.

BEING A NATIONAL TITLE CONTENDER IS RAISING PRICES

I’m still laughing at you

Eh. It's price gouging, but I'm not even arguing that.

Because I'm right.

Revenue sharing is happening. We can either have a plan and be at the front of the pack or get left behind.
We have a strong leadership group. We need as much to change as possible. We have a competitive advantage in that space.

Someone else said this, but I'm not sure it happens. The P5 could afford it sure, but the G5 can't. They already threatened to sue over the playoffs, you know they'll sue over losing their piece of the pie.

Because I'm right.

Remember our nc state vols charlotte conversation?

Yeah there was hardly an empty seat.

I was there Saturday, I waited to get tickets and they were 100 a pop for terrible seats. FOR KENT STATE! Demand > Supply… but it is more convenient to label the price increase on NIL.

Now I know why they don’t call you chessboards

What did you expect, a discount???

I didn't think Charlotte looked all that full but TV could be deceiving.

All I'm saying, is I have seen legitimate tickets during championships seasons at other schools for 50-60 a piece for a top 15 matchup.

It’s the move. UGA just did it. Other major universities about to do it. We were just upfront for what it is really for- to pay the best talent. If it’s gonna happen, I’d rather be the 1st to do it.

I don’t know if it was a sellout but it was very close if not

When, and what school?

The demand at UT has always been higher than most contenders, even when we suck. Clemson would have killed for our fan base.

But again. Yall are missing the whole point.

It's more of an I told you so. When NIL first came about, I said this stuff would happen. I kept getting told it's optional blah blah blah. Guess what it happened.

You think they wouldn't try and make more money even if NIL didn't exist?

And I’m telling you it’s not because of NIL. That’s what they are saying because the casuals will lap it up

 

[mr.checkerboards]

It's about passing off the costs of NIL to the fans.

Cardboards is like these guys who have always said "That's why these tickets are so expensive...they're paying the coach $10 million a year!!!"

Buddy - they're trying to maximize profit even if the coach works for free. You think they'd give you a discount if they didn't pay the coach big cash? You aren't as cynical as you think.

Isn’t that when people were afraid to be within 100 feet of someone else?

TN was bad and people were wanting 500 a piece

No, I don't think we would have this many drastic increases in such a short amount of time.

Wow. Thank you Danny White for giving us a discount.

 

[05_never_again]

Wrong. There's also the general inflationary environment we're in, plus they have pricing power (because we are good again).

Quit playing the victim, you dork.

Just pointing out facts.
