Is there any indication we'll hear anything for the Football Foundation today relative to where the pledges are?

It's a bummer those 2016 season ticket sales don't give us any break on the donut hole figure. It seems like we should be able to haggle it down a little based on money we are guaranteed to recoup with ticket sales that have already happened.

Ironically, had the season ticket drive not happened, my five-year pledge could have been higher. Exactly how ironic that is depends on whether football gets reinstated and why.

Projected season tickets SHOULD be included in this decision. It is most certainly "money in the bank." When football comes back, I'm betting 10,000 season tickets minimum.

10,000 is a lofty but attainable goal if you saw the numbers for all of C-USA.

Further, we have 4,300 documented, non-refundable $25 deposits on season tickets that should give us a break on projected operating costs for 2016.

If all are paid for in full at $150, that is $645,000.
