Marshall, by a country mile. I hope FIU gets to that kind of ticket sale in the near future.

But when a Herd fan gets on his soapbox and states "an AD is falsely propped up by state money and high student fees, that’s not a good long term situation" when:

1) FIU student fees are less than Marshall's (see previous posts)
2) FIU AD takes less funds from state/University general funds ($2.9M for FIU vs $8M for Marshall)

the statement is a teeny bit hypocritical.

Ticket sales gives an unadulterated picture of the overall health and popularity of a program. IF they cant sell tickets then the program is in deep trouble as taxpayers are becoming less and less willing to take money out of their pockets to support a program that is of no interest to them and has few fans.
