Last I heard, the AD was running at a deficit so I'm assuming we would pay our creditors


We had a profit last year and expect a much larger one this year. Having a deficit for a year or two doesn't mean we have creditors after us.

The money will go towards the stadium upgrade, it's inevitable. It will either happen after the 2016 or '17 season

Where are the spirals to the upper decks? Won't that cut the official capacity if eliminated?

Except Nick hired a legit psychologist with extensive experience building up mental toughness in football players.

We'll hire an out-of-work good ol' boy that graduated from Auburn 15-20 years ago with a 1.8 GPA.

A lot of people don't realize that you can have empty seats without a sellout due to people not showing up. We bulk sell seats to some of our donors to maintain our "sell outs" and is one of the big controversies in the "ticket scandal"



In basketball for example, most weeknight games none of the scholarship ticket seats are filled. None of the old rich people want to drive ~2 hours on a Tuesday to watch AU Bball and get back at 1am

Correct, but doesnt really matter, this is the same at every school

This is only for certain games and most of these are tickets sent back from opposing teams, FWIW.
