So I know someone that sits in great seats. $800 a year, two seats to football and basket. Had seats for 25 years. Spends $20k over lifetime.
Guy next to him, $2,500 a year per seat.
Grandfather'd guy falls behind pretty quick.
It is what it is.

Like I said, doesn't impact me one bit. I lost think it silly on the lost opportunity. Its the program that is missing out on the opportunity, NDSU athletics in 3 years, 5 years when they aren't the cool kid on the block (it always happens, its a cycle) will sit back and wish, we banked a bit more coin. No different than ND right now. People bitch and moan about the 10-12 billion in the various rainy day funds, but be thankful they banked it when they had the chance.

Yep. It's always on the backs of you poor, hardworking students. I feel sorry for you. I really do
Re: I'll be the first to apologize for the student section
students just coughed up $12 million for an aquatics center, they can afford the $1 million a year they give to NDSU athletics (NDSU athletics - basketball & football exposure will help them get jobs out in the real world!)

If the boosters walk, you have an intramural team. Students pay some bills but the grown ups keep the program running.
These kids act like they're the first ones ever to pay this stuff. We did it too.
