Does not change what he said. "For every 3 or 4 families that decide to go, 1 decides not to..." or something like that. Assume that is true. At Illinois you might currently have a pool of 50K or so people that really want to go to the game. If 20% of people decide not to attend, you have 40K...

What have you seen before? Wasn't the last alum we hired Jerrance Howard? That was a pretty good hire. Do we have a history of giving undeserved chances to alums I'm not thinking of?
