Now this is what I'm talking about. REAL numbers and info. Yeah, if we can get JSCU(or another CIAA school) for $15K then WSSU can go lay an egg for anything over $50K.
Man, this clears up a lot. I'm definitely down with the "screw WSSU" crowd now, LOL. Come off your high horse Hayes! My source was 100% correct about the amounts we were paying JSCU and VUL, which is why I had backed off wanting to play WSSU so much. Now its official. At those type of numbers we are making more money easily, as long as the crowd is half way decent.
WSSU is not going to get anything near a $50K offer from anyone else. Shoot, not even a $15K offer.

WSSU was offered 50,000 to play every year at Aggie Stadium and turned it down. Not denying that happened LAST year. Just relayed what I was told about this year. All of it is academic because they won't be on the schedule this year. Wuda like to have seen it cause I wants me sum ram meat!!!!! Same folk that told me Phil "the thrill" McApin was being showed the door three weeks before it actually happened (I posted it on here as soon as I got the wire).....same folk told me about the WSSU "situation". I'll leave it at that!

I had heard Bill was playing "hardball" with the game. Glad to know the deal. Like everyone else, that game is not worth paying WSSU $50,000 to play us. They're not going to make that kind of money playing any other HBCU school and they sure as hell not getting a FBC team to play them. So we can just wait until they sober up and smell the coffee. I think for $15,000 and the right marketing effort we can find someone else to play and make money.

Don't know people were surprised by these facts but I guess folks put the rivalry ahead of good financial sense.
There was reason for WSSU dropping down to D-II. Besides a short sighted and limited AD in Chico Caldwell, they have a very limited fan base and a small school population which killed their athletic budget and their FCS move but most importantly THEY DON'T DRAW FLIES AT HOME (even for their own homecoming) UNLESS THEY PLAY US!!!

Its a fair amount. They are crazy for not taking it and we were right for walking away when they demanded more. Especially when we could pay someone else less than half of that.

I think it's fair to say that officially Bill Hayes has lost his dayum mind. I wouldn't pay WSSU a dime over $35k...and the only reason I'd give them that is they are a top 4 football program in all of Div.-II. But, for $50k he can stay in Winston play all the Pembrokes and Catawabas he wants. That's just not smart on his part...no one else will pay him $35k to play them so he can walk.

Aggier2u, unless I missed it all I've seen you post is "I know the real deal" or "We are scared to lose". Never saw any actual reason. If I missed it excuse me. This is the first time anyone on this board with any REAL credibility has said what the numbers were that I've seen.

That's a nice video Getup....but, your program shouldn't get a dime over $35k to come play us in G'boro. If yall think that's unreasonable, then go get your $50k from somewhere else...plain and simple. No hard feelings!

This is the first time anyone on this board with any REAL credibility has said what the numbers were that I've seen. It's not that big a deal......the person that told me is VERY credible. He has told me a lot of things that were true. For instance, Phil McAlpin would be fired 3 wks before it happened AND some other things. Because of his position (job) I will not reveal some other credible info he has given me. He also told me, "the folks are afraid right now because we don't want to take a lost". This comes from a person who NOW, not last year or the year before, works in a position of know. You have to believe what you believe....that's on the individual. I know my source. It does not come from somebody who USE to work at "T'.....this person is still employed there in a VERY HIGH position. This is the last time Ima speak on this. I always want the best for us....I was just passing info that comes from a credible, reliable source that works at A&T RIGHT NOW that knows what he is talking about! Peace family!!!!!

I wasn't questioning the validity of your source or your info, just that you passed anything on at all? I still dont know what it was that you passed on in regards to WSSU except "we are scared". Was the the info you were referring to?

Peace family!!!!! aggie2ru, i believe you when you say "somebody" told you a&t is scared. but whoever it was couldn't be very credible because we offered them $50k to play us. if we're so scared, as your source indicated, then why would we offer them $50k to play us? sounds to me that your source was either giving you his/her own "opinion" or they simply didn't know the facts...
