Quote: “ Of course, an offer must first be tendered and accepted by the University, Coaches and Players. Therein, lies the rub. It’s not as automatic as one might expect. There are costs to absorb and frankly, as I see it, players’ willingness to press on. “
As far as costs go, I checked back on AU’s experience last year. They were required to put up a $30,000 guarantee against game revenue. After drawing 256 fans, they lost the whole $30,000 since the small amount of ticket sales barely covered their own game expenses. There were rumors that the PL absorbed some of that expense, but I never confirmed that – and the same rumors said the PL was thinking about eliminating whatever subsidy existed. I have no idea if the CIT has raised the fee since last year.
