Can I be less than enthusiatic about this? I know ads at venues and sponsorships of college teams is nothing new, but turning (paid) players into walking billboards is not the "natural evolution" I was hoping for. Instead, maybe the school could sell the nickname? Imagine "Introducing your The George Washington University Vanda Pharmaceuticals!!!!" (hey, that would be even longer than the current one! quite an accomplishment)

I am waiting for each individual player to sue to get their own cut of the payment

For the first time in seven years, a men's college basketball head coach is leaving to take over an NBA team.

Michigan's Dusty May is departing the Wolverines for the Dallas Mavericks

Timing is odd no? You just convinced all these guys to stay or come and now you are bolting?

Seismic move for the sport since May had very quickly established Michigan as one of the top two or three preeminent teams in college basketball

AMEN

URI is tied for first place with GMU.

Should both win their last game they will be regular season Co-Champions, but URI would be the #1 A-10 Tourney seed due to their win over GMU.

Some programs put you on a monthly payment program starting in May and ending in March to smooth out the payments which makes season tickets more affordable for some. Then starting in November, the proportionable tickets that you have paid for are loaded into your account.

anyone going?
if someone want to go and drive 
i will cover your ticket and parking across the street from the Seigel Center

need to leave NLT than 3 pm due to traffic on the 95

ESPN box score had attendance at 1,868. Those who were there is that a false count or does it include season tix count regardless if they show? If 1,868 showed up for that game, it might be the biggest surprise of the year.

should have been part of the $5 student ticket deal

attendance - intentionally overstated =
Season ticket sales for the game plus partial season ticket packages for the game plus previous online sale (not from resellers like stub hub) plus day of walk-up sales

a more accurate measure would be based on the turnstile - but that would exclude all no shows of previously sold tickets  

I have no idea how free student admissions are handled
