Scouting the Ohio Bobcats (vs SDSU) 8-26-23
- Thread starter JP4CY
- Start date
This is said all the time, and I know that this is true in comparison to other big schools, but this is also crazy to me. I can’t really comprehend how so many people can afford the Cyclone Club levels to sit down low and also buy the tickets to go with those seats. Those are things that we could never afford in our budget. There is just SO much money that people seem to have, and that they are willing to spend on college sports. And somehow, every other fanbase has even more wealthy people than we do. That is just a lot of money.
I think JP is going to know exactly where that “breaking point” is on pricing for our fanbase, and if he raises prices above that it will end up not paying off for anything if we have shrinking crowd sizes.
I think tbh, we just have a small fanbase compared to a lot of our peer schools. We have a lot more than TCU or Baylor, but their income demographics are way different. But, compared to Iowa, KU, KSU, we just have less fans. Which means less people to donate.
Really, of all posters, isufbcurt? It’s dumb to want a 7th home game? ****, if every penny means more than fans at home, the Hawkeyes will have enough money. sell our home game right to them and play there every year for a couple more million a year.
I think its a bit outdated.
ISU has raised its prices and donation requirements quite a bit over the last 10 years, we're more than in line with many peer schools (without the success to justify it).
What ISU lacks is the big money donors.
It's dumb to ***** about it. Campbell likes having a game in Ohio so you might as well get used to it because we are going to have one every so many years. Not to mention we aren't a big time program (no matter how much some people think we are) that can demand only home non-conference games.
I'm quite confident Jamie understands the financial implications better than any person posting in this thread as it relates to buy games and road games. Just a wild ass guess.
I wouldn't be shocked if the coaches want a road dress rehearsal either, especially if that means all recruiters can be out in heavy recruiting areas the night before the game.

Back to the game. Watching this really should open some eyes to the posters who were clamoring for SDSU to the Big 12. There is no one at this game.
No offense, but I pay my Cyclone Club donation I’ve paid and upped for over 20 years, I’ve bought the season tickets, I’m now paying for a kid to go to school at ISU and I live in Illinois. My two options are stop giving or stop ********. I’ll continue to ***** then.
I mean don’t look as good with their backup qb after losing highly productive qb from last year but sure I like your confidence of our team with no idea what we have at that position yet I guess….
This thread got me interested what other conference mates are playing away ooc games at G5. There aren't many but here are the comparable away ooc games that other Big 12 teams are playing:
Tech at Wyoming (may be a tough one in high altitude)
Oklahoma at Tulsa
Kansas at Nevada
And a couple from the new comers:
Houston at Rice
UCF at Boise State
Every other ooc game for Big 12 teams are either at home or visiting another P5.

USC is only beating San Jose St by 7 at halftime if you have access to the PAC 12 network.
