If London goes to ECU and McNeil goes to UVA, does that mean we will suddenly start beating ECU and losing to UVA?
That's not a bad idea at all. It certainly would solve some of the appearance of the premium seating up front being empty. While upgrading premium seating might eventually help with donations, that's not really what's causing a low-turnout problem at mid-week basketball games.
Seems to me the first solutions would be to a) win more games and achieve some success (I think Buzz is working on this), and b) encourage higher student and local fan turnout. Buzz is trying to address a), so maybe there are some solutions to b).
I agree with their placement of SCAR and Mizzou, but I think UVA, Cuse, and Memphis could go to any spot 3-5 justifiably. Pretty big toss up for me at that point.
no kidding...and the best pass of the game (by far) for us was thrown by a wide receiver

I feel like we're doing our Pick Six this week on the ACC Coaching Carousel

# | Report: Memphis Assistants Holman Wiggins and James Shibest to Join Justin Fuente at Virginia Tech Interesting things regarding their positions. We can now assume that Burden is gone based upon Wiggins being WR coach and Stiney will be gone too since Shibest is listed as TE and ST. Also, now that Bud's title is up there and we know that Cornell is gone, we can assume we'll be pulling in a LB coach. Currently, Bud is DC and ILB coach but on next year's staff, he's only DC. Perhaps roles will change, but it seems to me that we'll be getting a fresh face on our Lunchpail D. Maybe it's the guy from Memphis, maybe it's someone new. Who knows.
Let's go with the cash statement...

Shane just might be interested in order to get a shot at sticking to VT for not getting the head gig here....but I don't think he's that kind of guy

Since everyone is being so friendly
I'd like to think they already have Lincoln Riley locked up to be the HC. Otherwise this makes no sense.
Correct, and coupled with the fact that there are lengthy studies on sports arena economics that have found that venues with no premium seats actual lose money exponentially in terms of opportunity cost it makes sense to build these. It is a must in this day and age.
this is exactly what Cassell should do. the economics of club/premium seating far outweigh the loss of seats. get donors into the box and students on the floor. that's how you keep both a packed house and a packed wallet full of donor money.
Agreed, that was a great thread for sure. Also a favorite for me. And credit to yourself, Guitarman and Alum07, and really everyone... there are a lot of legs packed into that thread. A lot of great loluva bashing. Now we just have to wait a few months to see what they try to spin for next season.

True. What can be done to make these games more attractive for local fans and students?
