Notre Dame/PSL?s

Next season Notre Dame will sell 5,000 season tickets to fans, which will mark the first season in 30 years.  The main reason for this change is the more than $40 million in repairs to their “sacred” football field.  Once again its all about money in college football though as besides the $413 it costs for season tickets this season, buyers will have to pay an annual fee of $2,000 for sideline seats, $1,500 for seats in the corners, and $1,250 for end zone seats.  And thats per seat.  If they just set a flat rate at $1,250 for all 5,000 seats then that would give them $6.25 million before even selling the actual tickets.  Guess the football team and boosters can stop having car washes and bake sales on campus to help raise funds for the needy football team. 

Football @ KSU

Kennesaw State’s new president, Dr. Papp has said that he would be all for helping to bring football to our school if someone would pony up the majority of the money to start it up.  I think that I may have found a better solution for our school and any other school that doesn’t want to pump money into a football program, but still wants to put a team on the field.  Go the route of Buffalo who went 1-10 last year.  They are making $600,00 a game for playing Auburn and Wisconsin this year.   They were earlier scheduled to play West Virginia and Rutgers, but I guess that the money just wasn’t right.  The way I look at it $1.2 million for just two games should be more than enough for a team to operate a losing program or even a competetive one.  Maybe this is something that a school the size of Kennesaw should take into consideration when discussing whether or not they should field a team.  And besides the lopsided score in favor of the powerhouse and the larger wallet of the cupcakes, it still provides the lacking programs with publicity.  Which brings up the age old question of which is worse, “Bad news, or no news at all.”
