I'd like to know how ticket sales impact the payout to each school. I don't know the details, but surely the stated payouts are based on selling most/all of the tickets? If not, who is subsidising the 20,000 unsold tickets? If the contract for this fiasco doesn't include a cancellation clause based on (lack of) attendance, then CU needs a new legal staff.
Go back to ramnation with the rest of your delusional fans. Thomas is over-hyped and I wish this series would go away. Your fans are more obnoxious than husker fans.
Why should CU stoop to a NON bcs school ?????

It would be interesting to know. I'm guessing corporate partners are.

Jesus people--notably Jimmy and CC--don't you remember this debate from a few years ago.
The general outline (and I'm sorry Jimmy, I'm going on memory here, not google, but it was a subject nearly every day in the BDC).
--Most CU fans wanted to abandon the series. And if it had to happen, we wanted it either on campus, or alternating between Folsom and Denver.
--CSU fans called us chicken****. They also talked up the big venue being good for the state and how awesome the game is at Denver.
--Bohn tried to get out of the contract, but political pressure was applied. He later admitted that there were hard feelings between CU and CSU's athletic department at the time because of this deal.
--I don't remember the numbers specifically, but I think CU was projected to make a half-million more every other year (away game year) if it was in Denver (non-factor if we alternated between Folsom and Denver), but CSU stood to make a lot more money in this arrangement.
--As CU fans we kept referring to this as "charity" because that extra half-million was because CSU has a ****** stadium, we didn't want to play the game anyway, and we never wanted to play it in Denver--especially on home years.
How can you people not remember all of this? It consumed us as a fanbase for quite some time.
And CC...really? You want to play this on campus? Jesus Christ, that's all that CU fans ever wanted. It was CSU whininess and a myopic political entity (governor or state legistature...I don't remember which) that really forced this hand. As a person you're entitled to an opinion, but as a CSU fan you DO NOT get to complain about the venue.
