Does Mr Brown have more then two season tickets or has he missed a year in the last 25 buying season tickets.

My understanding is that season ticket holders who have purchased season tickets 25 consectutive years can keep two of their original seats.

What?!! Fungo bashing a greedy republican like Oliver Luck. You, of all people should be standing up for him. “Is it about money? Sure. Everything is about money”…..that is the republican motto Fungo, not just a quote from Luck.

I ain’t telling tales outta school but Haleys Comet has 4 seats on the 45 yd line he’s ready to sell or trade for Bengals tickets.

Since when do we ask for more money to pay for an inferior product. Love Mountaineer sports. I hated to see us go the way of Ohio State where old rich fogies make up the majority of the BB crowd.

Luck is all about the money and could care less about the true fans. An average fan cannot afford to attend a basketball game these days. I think instead of trying to find a new coach for the various sports teams at WVU, maybe we should find a new AD.

WVU is way behind other competing schools as far as revenue generating. This has to be done. Is there a perfect solution? No. Will some people be unhappy? Yes.

This is a business. Do I appreciate those who sat in their seats thru the Catlett years? Sure. However, I know that change is necessary and a lot of West Virginians hate change.

I may lose my seats. It is what is it but I appreciate the hard work the Department is doing to generate revenue to benefit the university. We don’t have a T. Boone Pickens to donate $300mil to WVU for facilities. We have to work hard for what we get and be creative in how we get it.

Money hungry ***’s. I agree with Michael. We can’t afford tickets anymore. The seats looked to be more than 1/2 empty last night. It’s only going to get worse.

Oliver “Dollar Bill” Luck has struck again. Again fan loyalty gets trumped by the “Almighty Dollar” in the Oliver Luck book. It won’t be long before WVU starts to beg the fans to return with the way the football and basketball programs are being run. Its a terrible product and many fans won’t bother to buy in to what WVU, Ollie, Holgorsen and Huggins are selling.

I couldn’t agree more… Money finally jumps on the bandwagon and now they are pushing the loyal Mountaineer fans out.

I realize money makes the wheel spin, but this is just the first step in pushing the loyals out who have been coming since we were terrible in everything. Where were the big donors back when Nehlen or Catlett couldn’t beat some high school teams? I bet Thomas Brown was there through those pitiful seasons….and alot of others. The Univeristy should reward the faithful fans instead of the wealthy. That is why when the fourth quarter comes or the last media timeout arrives, your fans are still in their seats instead of making their ways to their cars or tailgates.
