The Annual HCGM's WSU Future

[ShockerPrez]

@BDavisAAS: Texas may hire Shaka or may not. But I'm told by two sources nothing final expected today. School hopes to have a coach end of the week.

Love tweets with 'may', 'hope', 'may not', 'nothing final'

I may take a dump. I may not. I hope to take a dump by the end of the week.

Im a journalist. Gotta write sumpting.

@BDavisAAS: In the touching-all-our-bases department, VCU AD says no school has asked permission to talk to Shaka — yet. http://www.richmond.com/sports/colle...ac4da0ff7.html

I hope you're kidding. Who the hells job is it? Youre one of those guys who wants the steak dinner but doesn't want to pay for it.

Gregg has received a raise each of the past several years. I didn't have to pony up for those, so there are other resources other than to hold season ticket holders 100% responsible, which I clearly said I'm not on board with. Raise my tickets in the normal flow of growing a top notch basketball program. I'm all for that. You can't systematically say "raise ticket prices $100 per ticket." The guy that pays $600 for his ticket is getting screwed vs. the guy that pays $1500 per. As I said, bad idea.

Unfortunately, if a school/athletic program wants to play with the big boys, they have to get away from the penny slots. Gonna cost more to play at the big table.

This quickly is becoming a thread on fair taxation.

No doubt. Doesn't change my view, which includes raising my ticket prices in the normal business flow of funding a top notch program. You don't knee jerk a universal amount of money at one time across the board.

The MILLION dollar question is defining fair.

It means you have a life and haven't refreshed twitter for an hour...

Damn...

Now that's funny sh*t ...

[DwShock]

Been watching all day and no news is still no news. Same stories from last week still circulating. Same rumors retold by a different expert. All I know is the Alabama AD might have been in Wichita. Why do I keep punishing myself on here?

You have kind of went off the deep end here.

I think the raising ticket price example was being shown that WSU could raise and pay very good money, I don't think it was Sexton running a trial balloon up. I'm sure if WSU did try to keep Marshall with a hefty pay raise, they would probably do some combination of donor and ticket price increase. And most likely the ticket price increase would be based on where the seats were at.

As a season ticket holder I would gladly fork over $100 to keep Gregg. Now if that happens year after year there would come a point where I couldn't afford it and I would be fine with surrendering my tickets for someone who can pay the man. It all comes down to how bad do you want a top flight program? Because I am not in the camp that thinks we'll simply be able to maintain the status quo with another coach.

$1,000,000/# of paying seats = ticket increase
