They allot 2500 seats for students for every game. The students never use that many.

If 24 hours before a game students haven't gotten tickets, they project how many walk ups will come and sell the rest (all upstairs).

This happened three times last year, Arizona, BYU, and Wyoming. UNLV is one of the few schools in the country where students still get free tickets. No student (up to 2500 of them at least) will ever be denied a ticket if they pick them up a few days before game time.

What would you propose? They have huge empty sections and miss out on revenue in this economy just in case, for the first time ever, a thousand students get walk up tickets on game day?

fast, read up the comments list. I am merely defending someone's assertion that Kruger shouldn't pay someone 100k to market UNLV basketball. And yeah, 100k is more than the median, but it is small sum for someone responsible for marketing a multi-million dollar enterprise.

Only 14,300? For a day game on a holiday weekend? That's a solid turnout. The last time a quality OOC opponent came for a Saturday day game was U of A last year. Attendance was 16,700, but at least 4,000 were U of A fans in town for the Las Vegas Bowl.

With about 100 Louisville fans in town, that means we improved on last year by 1,500. Not too bad in an ever worsening economy.

Um, got an education and worked hard. I didn't create the formula. It's been around for years and available for anyone willing to follow it.

rebelz, you've shown how little you know about the topic.

USA Today ran a story in the spring about all the schools in major conferences losing attendance from the previous year. They attributed it to the economy.

Well as we all know, the economy is worse here than anywhere else in the nation.

But with coach and DJ taking over marketing, the Rebels had a nearly 20 percent increase in ticket sales.

And you think $100k is a lot of money? The only full-time job I'd take for that paltry sum is swimsuit contest judge. I'd have to seriously love my job to work for so little.

Rob, if you make corrections, you have to make a notation of that correction in the story or above the story. You know better.

You just beat me to the Rich Rodriguez suggestion.

Pat Hill has never gotten Fresno to perform to the level of hype he's built around them, but I'd take their level of success here. And we'd definitely get to take some great road trips as he'll play anyone.

Fran would be awful. His record has been barely above .500 every except TCU. And can anyone think of a TCU player who may have helped him exceed his ability?

Louis, season tickets are $185-ish for upstairs. A lot more people up there these days. Not as bad as it used to be. If you are a member of the alumni association, you get two-for-one season tickets. So for $185 plus $50 to the alumni association, you get a pair.

Another interesting thing to note is that Peterson's own firm endorses Cegavske.

The end is not true. A majority of those voting is all that is needed. Not a majority of the Commission.
