But the 10% increase in season tickets would have no impact on you financially. Warm fuzzies for the team winning doesnāt count š
SEC - Just Means More
- Thread starter king_kong_
- Start date
financial impact doesn't even register on my radar. I donate to 1890 from afar and am glad to do it.
the team winning is what matters. this would obviously help that.
This is maybe a pointless argument with no winner and just opinions. Itās akin to say a higher taxed city being a nicer place to live. In both cases the quality of management is going to be the larger factor.
If you buy a ticket in any capacity, you are already supporting the team in multiple ways. The argument is to force ticket buyers to āsupport even moreā (and apparently to shame them into it) One would maybe have to dig in and see how many less tickets they might sell based on the economic health or ideology of your average game attendee.
On one hand I think it would end up being a net-positive for the team at least in the short term, on the other hand there would be some families that get knocked out of being able to attend with kids, which is kind of what makes Nebraska who we are. Starting family oriented fans young. Are you potentially losing lifelong fans because little Timmys didnāt get to experience a game with dad at a young age? Yes. You would be nudging the activity a little bit more into the āonly for the families who can afford itā category.
Itās worth noting for argument sake that (correct me if Iām wrong) Kong rarely attends games, lives out of state, so the rise in ticket price would not much apply to him.

Unrelated, but, at some point the buyout money will end for the Pelini-Riley-Frost mistakes. In my world of accounting, every time you completely pay off a million dollar debt that is non- producing is the same as adding 2 million dollars to your bottom line.
Hummm you do know every time you purchase an item you are paying the labor to produce it.
NO WAY!!!! This changes everything!!!!
I honestly don't see the connection here, but could I use that line as an excuse to charge an addl fee for, everything?
Yeah, thatās exactly my point. I already donate to the university and I already donate to 1890. If you involuntarily make me donate more money to NIL Iāll just quit voluntary donations to NIL. So, a net loss for NU. Ask me to donate, donāt force me, or otherwise live with the consequences.
the university doesn't need any more donations
requiring that for season tickets is an absolute racket
if anything should stop, it's that and not NIL
I would love it if all of some of my ticket donations went to NIL instead of the university. Not sure thatās legal per NIL rules? I donāt think it is, but I donāt know that for 100%.
If possible have a "round up" feature for food/drinks at the game, everything that is rounded up goes to NIL.
Yes you could if you have willing buyers. The average fan knows what is going on with the new rules on paying players and realize this is a new and additional expense. They can either add it in a fashion that explains where the money is going or just raise ticket prices and get about 100,000 questions why.
No it is not NIL. Itās going to the NCAA negotiated lawsuit that will be allotting approximately 20 million per year per school of revenue sharing expense that universities will have to pay. That is what they are trying to fund.
Thank you for the clarity on this. Not the same as donating to NIL. Not at all the same thing. Thatās UT passing their court ordered expenses down to the consumer/fan. Given that information, Iām even less in favor of such a move.
It has to be approved by a judge but all indications are that it will be. Worst case scenario is the judge says it should be more.
So you think ZERO dollars donated to the Nebraska Athletic Fund never directly or indirectly benefited athletes and it all went to administration and employees??If so you're clearly mistaken. If I am misinterpreting this then my apology
How does the "rich get richer" work out in this situation? I am guessing that out of 80,000+ paying people, most are not rich. Someone saves a few bucks on a ticket, that doesn't make them rich.
Just think if Nebraska did this now. After all these years of filling the stadium even with a bad product on the field, all the sudden the product is better so the admin says, hey lets soak those suckers a few more bucks.
cheap people are always in "save a penny" mode, causing them to hand wring over stuff like this
rich people are always in "make a buck" mode, meaning a 10% uptick in something they enjoy won't infringe on their continued participation
I think one can be cheap and rich at the same time.
Warren Buffet is one the richest men on the planet. And heās cheaper than a $2 bottle of wineā¦
When you look at the average ticket price of a Vols/Nebraska game, we wouldn't notice if our tickets were the same price as theirs but 10% of what we pay, well! The average cost of a Nebraska home game ticket 307. The average cost of a Tennessee home game is 60. We are already one of the most expensive games.
my taxes paid to the IRS is not a "donation." likewise, if i'm forced to pay 10%, its not a "donation" any longer.
hey king. exercise some caution please on this.
if someone disagree's with a 10% fee, that does NOT make them cheap. It does NOT mean that said person is without vision. and if NIL was everything, then FSU ought to be ranked #1 with their 18 million NIL roster instead of staring down the barrel of 0-4.
your relational logic is flawed on this one. and by continuing it, you are demeaning quite a few folks.
You make more bucks by saving pennies sometimes. The fact of the matter is ticket holders have been footing the bill except for endowments. NOW WITH NIL everyone can contribute unless you were providing county scholarships or ham sandwiches. 5, 10, 10000 bucks it's all good now. With tickets you can't have them unless you pay X and then they might let you have them.
The last 5 years the average ticket holder paid $200 per ticket and if you couldn't go and needed to sell you were lucky to get $30 by midway through the season. Sucked but continued to support the team
Great idea. If Tennessee keeps winning and makes the playoff, the ticket sales will keep rolling. Same thing would happen in Lincoln. Losses are the only thing that would make this move fail.
The sellout streak was on life support with donors footing the bill with reduced costs. People were voting with their wallets and it wouldnāt continue to sustain itself if we had another losing season this year. IMO.
20 years of purgatory hasn't but it really was on life support after the Frost stint. Many people including myself had finally had enough after being the eternal optimist. Fortunately I think we have THAT GUY
You donāt answer the question, oh well, that is par.
Honest question - are you a socialist?
How is being charged more for something classified as a donation?
A donation is voluntary. Are NIL donations tax deductible?
In the end this simply becomes "the cost of doing business," like it or not.
I do not like it, but this is the way the game is played now.
I am old enough to remember Nebraska signing black athletes when few others were. Gave us a tremendous advantage.
NIL is the new advantage, and NU looks primed to work this well.
One does not have to like it, just embrace it, as we must if we want to be competitive again.

Hey guys. We're not discussion churches and tithing. Not the board for that.
Iām not really sure where I sit on this fence, I can definitely see both arguementsā¦ I think my idea is rather just add a ātalent feeā or what ever you want to call it of 20 bucks per ticket, donāt call it a percent but just 20 bucks flatā¦ matching that out for 89000 fans thatās over 1.7 mil per game getting sent to the 1890. in todays game thatāll get you what a decent starter on the line some where?
At the end of the day the NCAA or some other governing body needs to step in to cap these salaries. Right now this looks like the NFL draft pre slot value, where rookies were coming in off the street making more than established starsā¦ something will have to give here to keep this from getting completely out of hand

This money is NOT being sent to 1890. This money will be spent on paying players as part of the NCAA lawsuit negotiated to provide revenue sharing. It is totally separate from NIL. They are anticipating a 20 million dollar a year pool for each major university to provide payments to players in all sports.
