This is pissing off a small fraction of the fan base, I get why, and for some it does suck…but the deal was a horrible deal and for the betterment of the AD this is a smart move. It’s also smart to go ahead and do it now while they’re displacing a bunch of folks for the club level anyways, might as well do it all at the same time.
Can I? I like my seats. However they’re not going to boot others out of their seats. So even though I’ve given the university a lot of money since I graduated and purchased those seats, I’ll be left choosing among what’s leftover in other areas if I don’t pony up $20,000 per year. Ridiculous. I don’t know but I’m assuming that at my age I’ve donated much more than what’s normal since graduating, and with many more years left they’ve basically thrown it away by going about it like the way they have. They’re not making tax laws. It’s not like they can’t reach out individually like they normally do when they want money. Feels like they’re throwing the baby out with the bath water
Yeah I get they’re putting those seats in but you’d think the AD could do better than to just boot good donors and tell them to get ****ed and back in the line. Also, based on the map they published I don’t think there are comparable seats at the same price. Maybe I’m in the minority, but if so that makes it even more reason they could reach out to donors like me to give us some decent options since we’re getting displaced. I don’t care so much that they’re putting in premium seats there but they are alienating plenty of good donors in how they’re handling it.
Like @VolGee4 said, I'm OK with it in football because there hasn't been a promise put in place that the university is now weasling out of to people who put down the money to make TBA possible.
Well, my entire beef has been with the idea of taking basketball tickets from the original donors and their families, and you've argued the alternative perspective of that topic a number of times within this same discussion.
