With revenue sharing and TV deals do you think a rent a win generates that much more $$$ than a 0.5 road sec games per year?

Revenue for the town.... many businesses that pretty much make all their money 7 or 8 days a year. All the restaurants, merchandise, shops, people who run parking lots, hotels, taxi drivers, grocery stores selling beer and ice and charcoal etc.... all of that money that gets spent in a town like Athens during a home game weekend, just instantly sucked out of the town.

SEC TV money does nothing for that loss of revenue for the community.





ETA- ticket money for the rent a win... maybe they don't sell out everywhere but they do at UGA. Maybe not everybody shows up but the tix are all purchased. 97500 tickets x 60 = almost $6m straight up cash, gone.
