| Will increase in Tickets prices/students paying for tickets be Fulmer's worse enemy?
I dont think I have seen anyone mention this point. I have seen a whole lot more negativity this year with the recent blunders. I think that perhaps the new ticket prices and charging students this year can be a big reason why fans/students are so negative with the booing and everything else. I thought things were bad within the public in 05' but this year by far takes the cake... your thoughts? |

| Higher ticket prices combined with lower quality football is not a good mix. | |

| Why not have an imaginary game. Charge everyone 57 bucks a ticket (based on 105,000 people) to pay for Fulmer's 6 million dollar buy-out. | |

| Student's (parents) paying for tiks has nothing to do with CPF.

| I don't think higher ticket prices has anything to do with it either. It's what's happening on the field. | |

I have heard that with 90% of the people I've talked to. | |

| If they pay fulmer and his coaches $10 million in buyout money, look for another big increase in ticket prices for funding. | |

| The only problem Fulmer has, and has ever had, is his performance on gameday. | |

| If students are having trouble paying for tiks, I doubt they are spending a substantial amount inside.
Point is, it was the University that instituted the changes. I seriously doubt they asked CPF for his input.

| If UT needs a lot of cash for the buyout, can they raise tuition to pay for it? Maybe $100 per student? | |
