Their "entitlement" entitles me to not give a shit and not come to games to watch prima donna's. It's kinda of like Lebron spewing his politics. No one is paying him for his political opinions. I don't need 18-22 year olds who are now being paid to play to tell my why I should do something they think I should be doing, which let's just be real here for a moment. It isn't about the fan base at all. It's basically "hey I'm doing good now, look at me. I need more people looking at me." LMAO. That's literally all that is. So, the irony here is that the one who is clueless is yourself if you think the arena should be fuller. Clearly the fan base has already spoken and made your perspectives as worthless as players telling the fans what they should do with their time.

You seem like a miserable person. Hopefully it stays online and not in your real life.

Looks like the bleachers will be open tomorrow. They’re selling General Admission tickets on Ticketmaster!

"Even though they are having a successful season to this point, I refuse to support the program because of recent history, but I will continue to post on the fan message board telling everyone I choose not to support them" is an interesting take. To each their own I guess.

Good or bad, this is my school and my team. I love my school, and this season has been fun to watch. If that makes me a naïve fan or alum, then I guess I am. Oh well. I think, in a weird way, it's cool to be an alum and supporter of a mid-major school. We aren't flooded with band wagon fans or "sidewalk alumni". Would be willing to bet that 90% of the posters on this board either have degrees from Middle, or are currently enrolled. It's personal for us because it's OURS, and that's awesome.

Like I said before, the negativity on here gets old. It's supposed to be fun to be a fan. Yeah, losses can be tough, but man, we get to play again next game, next season, etc.

I am excited for the biggest game of the season tomorrow. It's Western week. We should be talking trash about Bowling Green Community College instead of taking shots at each other.

MTOleBlue, that level of commitment for tomorrow is next level. Now THAT's being a supporter. Cheers to you, bro.

See ya'll at The Glass House. #BeatWestern

Do they cook Blue Raider Brats indoors for basketball games or just serve pre-wrapped hot dogs held in a warmer? 😂

No brats, just hot dogs. The only item worth a flip is the ice cream of the future.
I wish we could copy Belmonts concessions.

No brats that I have seen. $10 cheeseburger, nachos, pizza slices at the stand by my seats. Can't recall seeing hot dogs this season, but I have only hit up this stand.

p.s. the $10 cheeseburger is NOT worth the money, but the wife wanted a burger

10 buck burger is insane

As part of the settlement the schools can use revenue period. The cap is ~$20m which is derived from a percentage of the average P4 school's revenue from media, tickets, and sponsorship. 22% so it will change each year. Very few G5 schools will hit that cap. It all is opt in, and schools can opt in/out year to year, but I don't see that happening. The question is what will we spend and if CUSA will have a minimum spend like the AAC (who's floor is not yet known).

So that money can come from TV deals, donors, sponsors, etc. A naming rights deal would be considered revenue so it absolutely can be used. It's why so many schools are shuttering collectives and it is all moving in house. We've already started down that road by giving priority BRAA points to Raiders Rising donors.

Thanks for the clarification.
