UT adding "talent fee" to tickets

Advertisement
Miami is at a distinct disadvantage since it must pay rent and share operating revenue to play its football games on private property. State schools and most private schools with an on-campus stadium do not account for such expenses and can allocate a greater percentage of ticket revenue to talent acquisition.

Right now the plan is it's capped at $22M annually. The benefit for Miami is that NIL won't go away, unless the NCAA gets its way.

So in theory, there's no disadvantage. It should be a level playing field.

The University itself is at a disadvantage, sure. But they have the means to balance it... and the football program specifically has many years of its own revenue being used to bail out UHealth that are making its way back to the program where it belongs. We'll be fine unless the NCAA gets its way but seems like they're losing in court.

Given NIL is basically an arms race we need to continue to be in the front of the pack of, and that if we continue to have the season we think we will and reload with a top 5 recruiting class the demand for tickets is going to go through the roof, I'd argue we should probably implement the same thing.

demand will never go through the roof for most of our games. I have been going to games since the early 90's and the OB was always half to three quarters full for average games.

also who knows if this will backfire or not. ole miss fans are all over the internet complaining about prices at their games. there is a limit to what people will pay.

I really thought this thread would be about strippers.

I non-ironically and non-sarcastically think the school should get strippers involved at official tailgating events to bring in the crowds on tune up opponents. Add additional cheerleader spots to the band etc.

It's serious money because of ticket sales, not because they "pack the stadium." Those are not the same thing.

Revenue outside of ticket and parking sales (i.e., gameday concessions and merchandising) is only a small portion (probably 20% maximum) of gameday receipts.

They are not the same thing. But it would still be serious if it were 100k contributing something and the tickets were all the cheapest ones.

Are they offering talent refunds for 2008-2021?

How is this not the school directly paying players exactly? Thought that wasn't legal yet...
 
I don't see the issue as it serves a great purpose and hopefully allow UT to continue to do what they're doing.

We pay 3rd parties more and don't sneeze. Tickets included. I wish Miami had this already, 20% is what I would do.

20% probably would be a good idea considering how low the tickets are. I don't know how we don't sell out every game. Other than the "it's training in Miami," or, "I have to drive," excuses.

As a fan I have no issues with it. Our tickets are really cheap and I agree. I know how much my fam back in green Bay oats for their season tickets holy smokes man. Serious. Our highest donor packages are less

LOL. how much is the HC chipping in? If you go down this road you’d better win.
