Nothing to understand, where is the proof?  Do you have insider information?

Clemson got $5M, with an incentive for more tickets sold last year.  Clemson sold out its 25k tickets.  Do you think we did?  How many tickets do you think we sold?  With attendance at less than 50k, nearly impossible.  Would we have even guaranteed 10k tickets sold?  If so, why would they pay $5M to us?

I cannot find anything suggesting travel expenses are paid.  I am sure they work out something for hotels and in-city travel.  But I am questioning whether they pay for airfare, etc.  And if they did, for how many people?  Just players and staff?  Did the school have to pay for family of staff?  And so on.

And then you have the fact that some people might travel to Atlanta at the expense of traveling to Syracuse later in the year for a home game.  And then the broader community cost of not having a home game to generate hotel/restaurant revenue.  I am sure that it nets an advantage at the end of the day or we would not have done it.  But is it such a clear revenue boost that it outweighs every other consideration?
