Given the student interest, I'd like to see the students be allocated a larger share of the tickets next year. For that matter, I'd give the students first shot at tickets, and then sell the remainder to the public. Yes, this would likely reduce revenue. Who comes first, the students or revenue? If the latter, why reserve any tickets for students?

Even for this passionate fanbase, twenty six minutes is impressive.armchairillini.com

The donors come first obviously. Which is true throughout.
I agree that the donors come first at the moment. I'm questioning whether they should come before the students for two reasons:
1) In theory this is the student sports team by/for the students.
2) Those students are the future donors. How much will someone who couldn't get tickets as a student care about the team in the future (or now)? Will this significantly impact future donations?
I'm become a lifelong fan. Would it have happened if I couldn't get the cheap tickets as a student? Probably not. (No way could I afford public admission prices as a student.)
Let’s get it started …
Cynically, you've gotta worry about the money today more than the money tomorrow. We also have the benefit of a pretty large stadium for college basketball. In the long run, it's better to take the money to fund the team than give away more tickets and fall further behind financially.
Hopefully he gets cleared. The good news is if it’s delayed, Morez gets as many minutes as he can handle and a trial by fire development. He’s gonna have to play and figure it out if he’s ready or not.
When T gets cleared, we add another piece to the roster who can help us in different ways after Morez got all his game experience.
Uh Oh....Que the Alex Legion comparison's /s........
I would feel better if they could have recorded more than 2 consecutive makes. I'm rooting hard for Ty. He is a great Illini, great example, one of two to stay, works hard, does everything well except up to now, shoot. I hope he sets a completion percentage record from three. Hope he makes hundreds of millions in the NBA.

I’m an optimistic guy, but no chance. He shouldn’t shoot any three pointers.Is Ty Rodgers with a 35ish% 3pt shot 2nd or 3rd team All B1G playing 25+mpg???

It’s not in his bag. I’m all for him trying to develop a mid range in game, but I don’t see him trying to shoot from deep come game time.
The question is why?.

Ok....but this is not optimistic! My original question assumed he was shooting 35ish% from three. As in...he's developed a serviceable 3pt shot.

I mean he’s just never been a shooter at any level. Shooting threes in practice is one thing, but in game I just don’t see it. I’d love if he proved me wrong tho!!
Lol..I'm laughing because down here in Kentucky last year they had FREE BIG Z billboards
