Folks quick to jump all over hazed but nothing but crickets for this post.

Frequently the case on sensitive issues. Follows the intelligence world handbook. Admit nothing, Deny everything, make counter accusations.

If that data is correct, that says alot...

Contributions at ODU gone up about over 200% and rights gone up over 600% in 7 years?

If that data is correct.....

There is some selective disclosure in Dukeman's numbers. He choose to compare pre-football numbers with the last year before the TV bubble burst. Rights will likely drop to the low 4s next year. If you look at contributions, ODU brought in $4,442,993 in 2010 (the year football was announced). It is impressive how the ODU fanbase responded to having football and the numbers show that they are sustaining the increase in contributions, but it is dubious to compare no football to FBS football considering the implied FCS vs FBS debate.
