Possible Syracuse/Colorado Practice

College basketball teams have “secret scrimmages” against other schools in the preseason all the time. I think the rub is you can’t televise it. I’m not sure if they are allowed to have fans in attendance or sell tickets.
 
I think it’s some guy in Alabama. Probably has a big chicken farm.

Not Alabama but close
 
My only concern would be the possibility of more injuries and the effect of playing in high altitude that SU isn’t used to.
 
At the point where these players are professionals - hint, we are there - anything goes. Just have to get the Player’s Union to agree to it.
 
You know it will go down as follows:

1. People complain that the soccer stadium is too small and too cold for the spring game.
2. Game moves back into the Dome. People complain that it never draws enough people for it to be an event in the Dome.
3. Fran tweets out that we will take our troops to Colorado and people are raring to go because it's Fran Brown showing some balls.
4. University agrees to go to Boulder to practice with and play against Colorado. People complain, "Why are we moving a game to a place where I can't go!?"

Make it ppv. Split proceeds for nil and dime bags

Pretty sure the current rule is exhibition games against other college programs are OK as long as no admission is charged, or admission is charged, and the proceeds go to charity.
 
In my mind, Fran didn't even ask JW he just saw it and then tweeted. Please don't rain on this parade if you know the real truth.
He doesn’t manage his social media accounts but I still read his tweets in his voice
 
So I don’t think anybody has mentioned this yet, so sorry if I missed it. The problem I see is lost class time, and in particular given it’s the end of April, finals.
 
Dusty Dvorcek was talking about this early today on the Dusty and Danny Show. He had been in Houston as a host or emcee or whatever it was when Fran was honored with the Bear Bryant Award for first year coach of the year. Dusty was raving about Fran, saying what an amazing guy he is and what a great speech he gave, it was the first time meeting him in person, after interviewing him on the radio show before. Anyway, lots of press for Fran and the program from this whole thing
