    As far as rings for the fans??? if I didnt earn it I aint wearing it.
    This is strange how this is catching on. After receiving the email today, I learned a lot of pro and college teams are doing this. Revenue is revenue I suppose.

    It's probably a way to defray some of the costs associated with producing the rings for all the players and staff. I'm sure we're talking a few hundred thousand for the 100+ official rings they produce each year. Again, it's a good problem to have but that's a decent chunk of change the AD needs to come up with each year.

    My last ring had 7 diamonds, representing 7 NCs at the time. It's the players' ring, not the fucking fans'. This discussion pisses me off a bit!!

    I think Bi5on is genius.

    2 years ago the rings had to cost less than $415 each. It might have went up a little now, but probably not much.
