Practice facility. Lol, that's a bit ambitious. I think Fish would be lucky for the program to have enough money to pay it's coaches a market wage. Anything more than that is a bonus. //Sent from my GS3 // I don't think we're paying "market" wages now. We're not, that was my point. Underpaid coaches don't hang out forever. |

No, more like SDSU ATHLETICS fans. Exactly. The myopic perspective by many on this board astounds me. I really need to stop paying any attention to their drivel. |

Been buying season tickets for years and I will gladly pay more to help the program. Also, the basketball practice facility is more of a reality than you think... It was before the decision to go back to the MWC... |

Sent from my DROID RAZR using proboards but you do get how some portray things around here... and even after the people in charge, getting paid to make decisions, made a decision after getting more accurate information than anyone here by far - our perspective is still "myopic drivel". just curious if, in this case, our president and athletic director were lumped in with our visions of myopia and blather. |

Two separate issues completely. Myopia are those that think that basketball should drive decision-making rather than a universal look at the economics of the situation. The AD and Pres had other factors to consider, supposedly but personally, I think they were on an island with no other schools lining up for a Western situation and got wobbly on the BE decision.

They are employed to make decisions
They made a decision
C: It was the right decision
Nothing could go wrong with that type of logic

Sent from my DROID RAZR using proboards okay, but there are very few here who actually think basketball should "drive decision-making". As someone posted somewhere the other day, there were some that wanted the Big East no matter what and some that wanted the MWC no matter what, but most just had a price that made the move worth it. i know i did, albeit much higher than most (like $10mill+). but at this point, it makes me laugh that how a fan gets from A to B is being criticized, when we all are headed to point B anyway. |

I'm glad ticket prices are going up. We need to clean up some of the trash at viejas and replace with people who have money. The only problem then is that those trash people are the ones that stand up and yell and they will be replaced by empty seats for most games and rich people who won't cheer and just want to say that they have tickets to the game and really don't care who wins. I just went to the UA - UCLA game. Their student section is not as loud as the Show, but the rest of their fans are much louder and they stood for almost the whole game. They had a white out and every fan wore white except for a couple of blue UCLA fans. |

People were responding to a few here that were vocal advocates. The discussion was mixing different nuanced arguments, but that is the ATalk way... Sent from my DROID RAZR using proboards |

As a 12 ticket holder in the same seats, I have no problem with them raising my ticket prices. I've had such a bargain for so many years. Thank you. $99 for a season seat is simply ludicrous. BTW . . . Can't we all just hate Boise? /s/ Rodney Aztec King |

They are still clearly a$$ hurt. Nope, just realizing that this is the first example of what those that were explaining to you that we are in a deep financial bind that you haven't even seen yet. Sorry you are limited in your vision. Doesn't matter anyway, we are stuck for now. In the market for a good airport meeting. I saw the big picture. Even loved the idea of going to the Big East, clearly things didn't pan out. For people to be saying that Sterk should fall on his sword is just ridiculous. As for season tickets, raise the prices. |

I'm hoping all the people who would be fine paying higher ticket prices know they can also donate to the program on their own.

Maybe. It did seem that the stay in the MGC crowd only wanted it for MBB. There was no arguing about the crappy TV contract at all. As long as we were in the MGC things will be ok. Because I am not privy to the same information as the AD and president I will have to trust their decision. Was it the best? My personal opinion on the matter was to get out of the TV contract with the MGC, which is worse than when we were to leave. As the premise for the thread, we will have to find new ways to support the MBB. |

I can't understand how some people can complain about raising tickets from $99
We play 16 home games this year... 7 OOC and 9 Conference games...
That comes out $6.18 Per Game... you can't even get a value meal at McDonald's for that price
Now even if we triple the lowest tickets... which is still lower than most programs season ticket prices
Thats less than $20 per game for the season.. not a bad deal for one of the best sporting events in San Diego, IMO
