Viewership for pro sports is in the dumper. Big time. The target audience has been whittled down to a market that may make it unsustainable.

No, the half of Americans that are willing to overlook the political crap they're pulling.

I think there is a lot of truth there, honestly, but it’s not even close to half of the population who actually overlooks all that nonsense.

I’d think the 18-39 year old number is pretty close. And only a segment of them. If that number is true, they don’t really have any money. And that’s the problem.

Wow, I just got "into" the email about the options for 6 and 12 foot distancing, So I followed the link. I had no idea that if you didn't make a choice - actually seek out this survey site and make your choices - by August 19th, that they were going to AUTOMATICALLY take all your money as a donation. No credit for next year, sorry... There will be law suits.

After taking the survey did anyone get a confirmation email or page confirming their selections?

I did not

The school called yesterday about my refund and it wasn't near the hassle that I thought it would be. They simply email you a form so they'll have a written request. Even have the option to reserve your seats for next year for $50 ea. It takes up to 30 days to get your money actually refunded.

Interesting.

75%...more than I thought it would be at this point in time. The rub will be those who don't respond and want their money back. Hopefully, they do the right thing and respect requests.

I was thinking about that earlier today. 100% of the ones that don't know they need to make a decision by Monday are going to bump up that 75% figure.

I chose Option 1. I was willing to donate my TSF donation and my ticket cost to the University.

Yesterday I contacted the Highland Hundred about the parking fees I paid to the Highland Hundred for two Tiger Lane spots and for 4 Blue Lot spots. I expected a refund, since Tailgating will not be allowed. However I was very surprised to learn that apparently by choosing Option 1 I also donated these HH parking fees to the University.

The HH funds are collected and deposited with the University. The HH no longer has its own bank account, or I could receive a refund. Apparently the University is keeping these funds too since I chose Option 1.

I just wanted to give a heads-up to other HH members so that you know what to expect. Since I have "donated" over $1000 to the University that I did not intend to donate, this will help me decide whether I want to donate the cost of my basketball tickets when that issue comes up in September.

Dayum. Is the HH real quiet right now or have I missed some e-mails from them?

I got an e-mail Friday outlining Option 1 as defined earlier by the University. However, the info that my HH parking fees would not be refunded was only obtained by a phone call to the HH president.

Who is the HH president?

Make a choice and you can save a lot of time.
