OK thank you. This is more than twice what my "straw man" assumes, so the 25% funding is more like 50% funding, but it's the local fanbase that props it up.

Just so we're clear, I am on the side of a great gameday experience in the mold of the best that college football has to offer. I don't have a problem with a student fee helping fund the AD and didn't mind when I was paying it as a student. Of course I would prefer them to be loud and proud the whole game, but don't take that and everything else the tuition funded university offers and suggest (not that [I][B]you[/B][/I] did) that those who fund [B]50%[/B] of the AD budget through tuition payments don't deserve a seat in the Dome their tuition has been refurbishing (that roof money didn't come from the AD and the state only covered about 20% or the second phase - the seats). They are the VIPs who pay the bills including those of the AD, whether they show up on time or not. IIRC the AD leases time in the Dome, so they do not see the revenue driven by ticket sales. I assume the ticket sales impact the lease rates, but the Dome is a separate entity from the AD.

And [I]yes[/I], money rules it all, and [I]yes[/I] they were moved to make it easier for others to pay more for seats elsewhere.
