Lol. It was an article from Forbes. And your second paragraph is spastic. It starts off as an early Junior Achievement lesson on tax credits and then diverges quickly to a mess of words. You need to clean that up.

Not most people HERE. But most people who voice opinions here aren't representative of average fans...
No, I’m pretty good at math and my accounting degree has served me quite well. The problem with what you wrote wasn’t math though, it just didn’t flow well.
Your lack of comprehension doesn't indicate a "mess". And last time I checked, Forbes articles were written by journalists...
Count me as one who is staying away because college athletics as a whole is corrupt and cares about MONEY 1st.
They like to throw terms around like "Student Athlete", and "amateur" to paint a flowery picture. However if a college stands to make more money by taking a postseason ban now instead of later, don't worry about those "student-athletes", two of which were 5th year senior transfers and had no other opportunity to make an NCAA tournament ever again.
And then there are all these agents that make "loans" to these student-athletes as we like to call them. Colleges ALL know it happens.
You would think with all U of L has been through, we would be one of the most vocal supporters for reform. Instead we're just riding on the ACC bus because we want to make sure we get our checks from the television contract & shoe contract.
I don't know Vince or Jurich but they both know what's going on and neither is or was doing anything about it.
Until college athletics gets in better shape and cleaned up, count me as one who will not be attending as many games as I used to and that's from a 30-year season ticket holder until this year.
I still love the college game but it disgusts me the way it's run.... And apparently has been this way for quite some time.

Call me when you actually buy a season basketball ticket package directly from UofL. It will be at that point that your opinion regarding what people are willing to pay and not pay will be worth reading about.
One butt in the seat counts the same, $10 or $100. Call me when they change the accounting for attendance. And with more $10 and fewer $100 tickets, it's never been easier to ring up those turnstile counts.
Money rules the day, however. Attendance is a means to an end...
