I agree, I’m not sold on the idea hiring Gerry automatically translates into ticket sales.  But more importantly - I don’t care because it’s irrelevant.  Even if it’s a 100.% certain revenue boost for year 1, by year 2 sales are going to be dictated by wins.

There’s a weird twist in the pro-Gerry spin.  They say we should hire Gerry because he’s a Syracuse guy that will boost ticket sales on day 1.  Then they accuse people who point out hiring the most qualified person is a good idea of just wanting change for change sake and not wanting Gerry because he’s a Syracuse guy.  They keep using “Syracuse guy” as primary selling point, pretending somehow that makes him the best candidate, denying that’s what they are doing and claiming the ONLY reason people don’t want him is because they just want change.  I compared it earlier to a “but I love him!” argument from a teenage girl for a reason, both are logic and reason free justifications of infatuation.
