People do pay money - here and in NY. Does the local money count for more than alum money in NY? Losing one home game vs a marquee opponent was a big deal when we lacked marquee opponents - but now? With FSU and Clemson flip flopping every other year? I get that you think because you're supporting the team that that makes you entitled to a  big home game - but c'mon - it's DG's job to make money and get exposure for out teams...

Why shouldn't he make more Metlife agreements?! If the money is even close to what's been reported here, he'd be negligent [I]not to[/I].

Stupid by your measure. Without the financial numbers in front of you - you simply cannot make that statement. You and I don't have all the facts. I'm all for holding him accountable - it just seems like the crusade you're on doesn't match the "crime."

"Where the games will come from" - why on earth does this matter? If we're bringing LSU to the dome, do you honestly think he's on some sort of vendetta against the local fan?! The answer is this: There will be a marquee team that we face at MetLife in the future. That same season, we will play a marquee team in the dome. It's a fair trade off (again: money and exposure).

Maybe he doesn't know or can't answer that yet (in negotiations)?! The questions are legit. And you are being driven crazy by them. But the truth is that the athletic department shares the what we need to know when they want to share it. They are not senators or public servants - they are business guys running a business.
