Oleschool, you say others are emotional, but your "Aggie Blood" wont let you give a good team credit. WSSU is a real deal DII squad man.
And yes I support fan zone and would love to glad we did ban freeloaders. WSSU would be bringing in way more money than tailgating freeloaders(which is ZERO).
We just see things as opposites. You dont back something like gamezone so we could make more money, but then want more money from WSSU. Not backing Game Zone is COMPLETELY emotional if you ask me and has nothing to do with Financials.

Not backing Game Zone is COMPLETELY emotional if you ask me and has nothing to do with Financials. yeah, admittedly i might have a little aggie bias in my blood. but its honestly just my opinion, that's all. everybody was talking about how "unbeatable" they were this time last year and then they proceeded on to lose to both st. aug and shaw. i'm just saying, they've got to show me more than blowout wins over 2 weak teams. plus, i never said they weren't good. i said they weren't as good as some folk build them up to be. i mean, we went 1-10 last season. yet, they only beat us (without a true qb) by only 7 points in our very first game while they were following a blowout win over virginia union by 40 plus points the week before. so i'm just not impressed by blowout wins over vu and chowan. i never said wssu wasn't a good team, but i ain't ready to crown them kings of hbcu football either. let's just see how much of a "real deal" they are come playoff time, that is, if they make the playoffs. and, the point ain't about how much money wssu brings in. its about how much money they "pimp" us for. fan zone supporters want to maximize profits out of the so called "free loaders", so why not maximize profits out of wssu too. it ain't about how much money, its about "principle"...

They will not pass on our offer if we make one. Because it's a financial windfall for their program.
Look we have to up our game If WSSU is the best available team that will help the program financially along with the other money games that we have , I say play them and CUT THE BULL!!!

Dooms you are cracking me up, LOL. But its true. We definitely ran this year. I have no doubt about it. 4XL should be able to clear some of this up? If your reading..... What was Dee Todd's deal and some of the older deals with WSSU? And what did we want vs. what they wanted to keep it from getting done this year? I don't think there was any deal in place by Dee Todd. I beleive WSSU was transitioning to D-I when it was decided to start playing them again.

"down goes frazier" will seemingly last forever...

Thanks, I'll take your "think" over anyone elses "think" on this board when it comes to that type of info. It's amazing how we assume we had a cut of WSSU's gate when Dee Todd is the only one that can definitely give that answer. I know some ADs give that type of info publicly, but did she ever publicly say the terms? Did WSSU's AD? We always seem to get this info from some side person.

I know, thats why people shouldn't quote something they just heard from their cousin, LOL. 30% of someone else gate just dont sound right. People do lump payouts because gate numbers can be fudged.

Monster, when we announced that we were resuming the game, the WS Journal printed a story with the financial details. I distinctly remember them printing A&T was scheduled to get a percentage of the gate. When the story was posted on Onnidan all the D-II types talked about how we were pimping WSSU. I 'll see if I can find that story.

I 'll see if I can find that story. If you can find it great. Either way, doing a percentage deal on a gate is just dumb by both parties. WSSU could let people in and not have them use a turnstyle and make the numbers appear lower to A&T. WSSU could make a killing and have to give 30%. Either way it was a bad deal that could go wrong. One lump payout is the way to go.
