The TV dollars and SEC TV contracts won't change because of this switch.Do you not realize this?




Stop thinking about it so linear. New contracts will be based on the data achieved in the coming years. uga is ok with this because they are forward thinking and see the potential of keeping Auburn on the schedule and creating a potential November SEC East battle most seasons. It's good for the bottom line in the conference and it will be good for uga when it comes to exposure going forward.

Auburn will fix a schedule issue that no other member institution has to put up with and it has nothing to do with wins and loses. It is absolutely about the bottom line and even season Novembers being ridiculously finically imbalanced compared to member institutions.

Stop spinning yourself in to the ground.Switching one game in the schedule will have no bearing in a multi year/multi millions TV negotiation.

I think you're the first person to even mention this as a financial advantage for AU/UGA.

Your people have seemed to push the competitive disadvantage AU has had to endure with the scheduling, but never the financial strain it has caused.

What?Our odd year home schedules are horrible including Novembers.

So fix the Bama/UGA same year dilemma and be done with it

Huh? So how come ticket sales/revenue was higher in '18 compared to '17?

quote:

Auburn collected $33,213,941 in ticket sales in 2018, up around $300,000 from the year prior. They collected $1,885,872 in direct institutional support from Auburn. It’s just the fourth year that AU has collected income from the university.


How in the world did this happen?
