I've been told from a reliable source that it's money. Not having to send 350 band members, staff, food, travel, hotels, etc. to each away game. They hope that other colleges will "catch on" and eventually others will do the same. We can all can save money. Just send a small pep band only. I also understand that it came from the athletic side.

Of course it's about the money! (See my posts on pp. 5 and 7.) But, again, we're not talking about that much in the context of the athletics budget. The difference between sending the full band or a pep band to an SEC away game is around 70 grand. (Relatively little out of a budget of well over 100 million per year.) And we're not talking about every away game (as you stated in your post), but ONE game per season. Seems like a relative bargain to have the full band at a crucial road game.

The $30 million from SECN deal says this is bullshite.
