kicknutter, do you think paul rhodes should be fired?

No chance, but his program clearly regressed this year in all aspects. A great recruiting class coming in and some impact players taking off redshirts will help next year, but they are still going to be mediocre in 2014. 6 or 7 wins next year is probably the ceiling. A new offensive coordinator (what a thankless job, but Courtney Messingham has been mostly awful) would help.

As I was saying, there are often promotions to sell the last percentage of tickets that are cheaper than K-State (because both venues are larger at ISU) but season ticket packages are still on par.

And these promotions have almost disappeared the past two seasons. A 2-win season and record lows for KU softened the secondary market, but optimism springs eternal in Ames. Demand in 2014 will be even stronger.

Any danger of flooding from these springs?

 

It's not a flood, it's a water feature.

how does being terrible at football factor into the likelihood of this ever happening?  serious answers only.  tia.

They still sell out every game, but I suspect that being terrible at football is having a huge impact on ticket prices.

they don't sell out every game and their ticket revenue is atrocious, as it is for basketball. The price points are very low.

Best seats at BSFS cost $1,655 ($355 ticket plus $1,300 priority contribution)

Best seats at JTS cost at least $1,575 ($375 ticket plus a MINIMUM $5,000 donation for up to 4 tickets, but the highest priority level is actually $12,500 for up to 8 seats)
