That's going to be a hard sell to the football fans that already don't go to the games. Add the shitty home schedule next season, and there will be quite a few people not renewing their seats.
It's like a small snowball rolling down the mountain gathering size and speed until it's a monster that can't be stopped. The Wine and Cheese Fartknockers will take over. TS will never be the same.

I saw this with the NFL and college football is just copying its big brother. It's about money now. The BIG difference is the NFL is a business and LSU is a public university paid for with tax dollars. But the AD defends by stating that the fans demand a competitive team, blah, blah, blah. Fact is that the athletics have little or nothing to do with the University anymore. Doubt me? Ask someone on the Academic side who can get a meeting with the Chancellor easier. The AD or a Department Head.
Athletics is a business now and their goal is money and wins. Fans, traditions, family fun are all secondary concerns. Just as with the NFL, the AD will take on more and more of the easy money (corporate funding) and individuals will be pushed to the periphery. You can count on it. This coming from a Free Market Conservative. I don't like it but it is our system.
All of that being said, chastising the fans for leaving early is a bullshite move. He wants the money of the corporations with the loyalty of longtime hard core fans. You don't get both dumbass. I want a National Championship with $25 tickets and beer girls in the aisles. Guess what? Here it is: You sold your Stadium to the highest bidder. Live with your decision.
