Jobres76 Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 Are you talking future state or current state? Current state there are no games because everything has been temporarily suspended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joyful94 Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 I do not think that fanless games are feasible. Need fans to pay officials, buy equipment, pay for security (to keep people out). Football gates pay for uniforms, helmets, shoulder pads, etc. No fans means no concessions. Concessions profits usually help fund football or other sports. Football without fans is an losing economic proposition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtl112 Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 There has to be a decisive factor to go by because there is still going to be cases when the season starts. Its going to be interesting to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you think it's a scam? 40,OOO more deaths in 4 1/2 months than the whole 10 years of the Viet Nam war. I know 3 people who have had it, 2 died and the other said he was so sick he wanted to die. Calling it a scam might be just a little over the top. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So only $35 goes to the school per subscription (that the whole family can watch) goes to the school. Thats not alot of income for schools when compared to an entire family purchasing tickets for the games over the course of the season.

Also, some people aren’t going to pay for subscription when they know their WiFi is shaky... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats not alot of income for schools when compared to an entire family purchasing tickets for the games over the course of the YouTube live or Facebook live would work, but I'd personally dislike to see my team played on the tube if I didnt have too. Alot of people just wouldn't watch if they weren't die hard fans or have a kid that plays. I think if that's the route any school system goes they will watch it fail financially. That burden would prove to be too costly in the end. Refs have to be paid still. TSSAA would still require a % wether a team had fans or not. Keeping a program going isnt cheap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecu Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 If 100k can protest in Washington, then 3-5 k should be able to go to a football game. 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
