Potential post-season budget for fans is intense. Ex.: SMU's potential max would be... • Travel to Charlotte, hotel, ACC CG • Travel to Penn St, hotel, ticket • Travel to Phoenix, hotel, Fiesta Bowl ticket • Travel to Miami, hotel, Orange Bowl ticket • Travel to Atlanta, hotel, NCG ticket. - ThreadSky

Its SMU......no problem.

Yes I agree but it’s the same for ASU
traveling cross country ATL to the biggest airport (Hartsfield Intl) in USA
Airfare $600+
Hotels $800+
Tix $800+
Food $300+
Incidentals $200+
How are regular working class people supposed to afford this 🤷🏻‍♀️

They aren’t supposed to afford this, silly.

Now do Georgia because Kirby seems to think they travel too much

First and second rounds need to be at home sites

stubobnumbers.bsky.social•83 days ago

There will be fewer and fewer normal fans at these games. Because they can't afford it, or fit several games into their schedule.

Look at Oregon. The quarterfinals should be on campus.

That’ll eat into the cocaine budget

Obviously SMU has some wealthy alumni*, but how many in any fanbase can take that time off or spend that kind of dough.

*and the ones who paid the way into the ACC are probably are in suites anyway.

More games on campuses please.

majorarschloch.bsky.social•84 days ago

Also, didn't SMU forgo all revenue for a couple years to get the invite, or was that just TV?

It was apparently just TV.

Actually a decent amount, at least in undergrad. Most undergrad are either on scholly or mom/dad are rich. I only did grad school there (so different cohort) but the cars in all the parking lots was stupid: Benz, Lexus, Lexus, Tesla, BMW, occasional Ferrari, and repeat
