People aren't talking about the sport axing enough. We almost can't do that. We're already at the bottom of the list for amount of sports. Cut 3 more and we aren't D1 anymore. That's HUGE.
And not each attendee buys his/her own ticket. But the idea is positive.
Posting an open letter to the fans doesn't seem the most productive method to solve difficult problems.
I like that JP is up front with what will need to be done. I would much rather have an AD who is transparent with decisions and their consequences. I feel like that has taken place throughout this whole process and really throughout JPs whole career. There seem to be a lot of people applying ulterior motives to the message, which may or may not be true, but taken at face value there is nothing wrong with what he said.
I don't blame JP for being upset, he and the University has a plan to avoid this. Outside pressure pooped all over that plan and likely didn't even take the time to understand the plan. This is the result of less income. Some people will be affected greatly. It sucks.
For those that think we will have fans for OU, what are the metrics that make that ok? Some will never be ok with fans in the stands this fall and they will yell the loudest. For one, I don't ever see the Story County Health Director supporting fans this fall. It doesn't matter what JP plans.

@alarson
I politely ask you a question trying to understand your view point and I get a dumb rating.
Right? 60,000 capacity =/= 60,000 "individuals."
Family of 4 would make that $2000. Some families don't have that extra cash sitting around to donate to the ulta-ballooned AD budget.
I think it’s more about being honest with the reality of the situation.
You’re a d*ck, I wouldn’t wish that job on anyone.Angie for governor.
Angie for governor.
That's too political! An awesome suggestion though... but way too political.
Indoor and Outdoor Track are two separate sports for counting purposes.
There are AD's in Ames and Cedar Falls that are really going to have to 'wrestle' with how to get out from under this budget calamity. It's the only thing that can be cut in either place that both placates Title IX and saves real money....
We deferred our tickets to next year already paid for them. Can they raise next year's price? I've already bought a paid for a said product and waiting on delivery until 2021. Just asking the question.
