Not sure which thread I should’ve asked this question in but whatever.. Did anyone see that JCL said he’s undecided about coming back next year? I could’ve missed the discussion about that so I do apologize if I’m late to the party on that.

Being serious. Do you know next year's ticket sales? Or is this just your opinion?
It’s speculative but relatively small. The buyout difference I believe is 1.25 million between this year and next year. Assume we sell 5,000 fewer seats which I think is reasonable that would only split the cost to $250 per seat. On average I think that is reasonable.


Then you factor in concessions and all of the other lost revenue and it adds up. If they would bring Prohm back I’m not sure how much more full Hilton is then this year.

The meeting very likely will not be today. I'd wager the farm (apologies to my brother) that Pollard is in Stillwater for the NCAA XC championships where both teams compete today including his son in what may be his last xc race.

But we have posters saying it will happen this morning AND they know his candidate list! :rolleyes:

So, just to be clear, you're assuming approximately 30% reduction in season ticket sales. With no one on the waiting list to pick them up. Right?

My guess is people will continue to buy tickets because they always have. So tickets sold won't be THAT far off in my opinion but actual attendance will be horrible. And ticket resale value will basically be zero again.

I think it’s possible he comes back for another year, I just don’t think it’s here, imagine he would want to play in the tourney at some point in his career

Just read the tournament replacement protocol. If any 3 if the 9 Big XII teams bow out before 6pm Tuesday we're in the big dance. Guessing Jamie won't make a move before then.

I say 9 because Kansas St and TCU would get an open slot before us but if one of them couldn't go we'd only need 2 of the 7 to opt out.

I’d be really surprised if he transferred to his 4th school but it’s definitely possible.

Don't think that's how it works... but not certain

I agree with your assessment given the single premise that the product continues to be bad. However, all this with a 'delayed' loss in revenue. If, on the other hand, the product shifts towards 'optimism', the prices much like our stock market, shift value further into the future. As irrational as that may seem, it's exactly how human thinking is going these days. In other words, 'optimism' goes much further than 'pessimism'. My ultimate point being: this game is about $$$$ and psychology.
