Message: [QUOTE="cliftonparksufan, post: 5359505, member: 9"] Yes, and in 1991, you could buy a nice 32" color tv for $700. Things are so much different nowadays that you can't compare 34 years ago. Just like 34 years before 1991 was 1957. Even if we were in first place, I highly doubt we could average 29,000 fans. Even 25,000 fans. Too many people find it an inconvenience to leave the comfort of their home and their big screen tv. But, Syracuse has shown its stripes very quickly. The fans are jumping off the ship quickly. And NIL has to be somewhat related. How many fans, who might not renew, will still give or add to their NIL contribution. But you can blame the season ticket loss on CNY townies who might be struggling to pay their heat bill and to put groceries on the table, but hopefully the administrators don't think it's the locals who are going to pony up $50 million. That has to come out of the deep pockets of some of the wealthy alumni. [/QUOTE]
