The Tulsa game next season.

i believe it was a four year deal for 2.5m...so say $625k a year. so much for the "commitment" to basketball at a-slut.

Well, now that UK has won the battle of the underworld, amongst the forces of darkness, Manning can move on to his new job and build Tulsa the KU way (dole out that bling), just like Rupp built UK the KU way (dole out that bling).

I'd be disappointed if Marshall agreed to the TU game being at Intrust.

I'm pretty sure your right. However, if you were Tulsa, and offered to change the venue to IBA, would you? Sure. To me, the only way this game happens at IBA is if WSU sees it as a big enough financial benefit to do so. I'm sure WSU would rather have a more high profile game at IBA that would bring in TV $s,..... but if they don't get one?

I think the contract was just a 4 game home and home. The Shocks wanted a game in IBA, and the Tulsa game fit, If the contract was for 1 game in each city's arena, I think they forgot to tell Tulsa.

Another point, Tulsa average attendance when they wrote the contract was around 4,000. It would be an insult to see that few in an arena that seats 15,000.
The WSU game at TU was fun this past season, we Shocker fans were louder than the home crowd. It appeared 1 out of every 4 there was a Shocker.

As I look through more old articles, it appears you are correct about both of Tulsa's home games being at Reynolds. However, that basically means WSU and Tulsa can have their home games on campus or where ever they wish as neither visiting team will disagree about playing off campus. So, this makes it even more possible that WSU could go back to IBA if it wished for the reasons I gave.

as long as we win I dont care if we play at Lynette Woodard park

Granted, I'm not a ticket holder (damn geographic location!), but I enjoy seeing games broadcast from IBA. Just a bit of a different feel.

We were there as well. If you think our fan base is getting a little long in the tooth the tulsa fans in attendance make our fan base look like a bunch of young uns.

I'm late to the conversation, but yes it was 2 games at CKA and 2 games at TU's arena. WSU opted to move game one to IBA.
