This might honestly be the one time I would be fine with our fans using streamers

Just when I'm not strong enough to carry on.

This—>There may be more for USD ticket office/athletic department to worry about relative to the NCAA. I have an attorney friend (law school classmate of mine) who works for the NCAA. I gave him a call today to BS and get his thoughts on this USD ticket debacle. I told him about my experience (being forced to pay for tickets twice, etc. because of how terrible USD is handling/attempting to rectify their mistakes) and he brought up a major issue—>USD put in a bid for this game, but the payout to NCAA is 75% of gate (not sure on actual percentage he mentioned, maybe 80?), and gate means total amount for ticket sales received minus some expenses. He stated that the NCAA may look into a full audit of both this game and the Sac State game and if the numbers don’t add up USD will be fined and sanctioned AND the NCAA will likely conduct a full audit of USD’s athletic department.

I think it would be a laughing matter if the coyotes beat us and had to go to furman (assuming furman beat Montana)

CAS, do you remember that attorney we had beers with in Frisco in 2013 and 2014 in the suite at the stadium? He is still outside counsel for Scott Bearby and that office. I contacted him and he stated it is an almost sure thing that if Furman and USD win, Furman will be hosting USD in the semifinal. No matter what, he also agreed with you in that this will result in an in-depth audit of USD's athletic department.

Sounds like they need to move this game to Fargo. Bigger stadium so more people can get tickets that they want. Go Bison!

I wonder what the tone is in the Coyote fan forum. Not going to check myself, too tired, but maybe they are kind of deflated with the ticket fiasco.

Man feeling really good about this game. I think we get it done.

I do too. Feels like we hit a different gear the last few weeks...and I think we beat a much better team last week. That USD loss felt like we let one get away from us that we should have had.

I joined the Howling pack because a perk is first choice of tickets. But to get tickets you give up the tax deduction.if you don’t want tics they’ll let you deduct it- you choose. But you apparently don’t need to be a donor to keep the tickets. Smells like fraud to me or at least a tax scheme

I was a season ticket holder, still get all the marketing email like I was one, but I mysteriously no longer had an account when I tried to buy tickets.

According to the 2012 championship handbook, it was 75% of the estimated net receipts. At least it is if I'm reading it right. Here's the quote:

Site Selection
With regard to first-round, second-round, quarterfinal and semifinal sites, in addition to the criteria listed in Bylaw 31.1.3.2.1, the NCAA Division I Football Championship Committee shall consider the following additional criteria when selecting playoff sites:
1. Prospective host institutions must submit the following minimum financial guarantees, which shall be 75 percent of the estimated net receipts as submitted on the proposed budget:
 First round – $30,000
 Second round – $30,000
 Quarterfinal – $40,000
 Semifinal – $50,000
2. If the minimum financial guarantees are met, the committee will award the play

Lol...thay stated "Right now, tickets are going for up to $224. Kickoff is set for Saturday at 1:30 PM at the Dakotadome."

They should have added and as low as $50 and you can still find as many as 21 open seats together.
