[QUOTE="IlliniOllie, post: 1194204, member: 6150"] Trust me, I agree 100% with you. I just don't have it in me to give up my season tix. I've been saying "I wish I knew how to quit you" to Illinois Athletics for years now, and I still haven't. The Fighting Illini are, for better or mostly worse, my thing. There will probably be games where we don't bother to make it into the stadium, which they'll at least see on the turnstile attendance. But yes, I'm as mad as hell that the band of interim idiots we had/have decided to completely punt and give up on a whole season of football, out of institutional stupidity and indecision. I'm hoping that the same thing doesn't happen across the street this spring, too, although IMO the coaching situation isn't [I]quite[/I] as dire over there (it could easily get there with a poor 2017 class, although that's for the other board). I'm sure the attendance message will come though loud and clear next fall. Lots of people will drop their tickets, I'm sure, and walk-up ticket sales are going to be terrible. Not to mention, after the revenue sports debacles this fall and spring, I-Fund donations and renewals are probably going to be a disaster, too. Whitman is too sharp of a guy to miss seeing which way the wind is blowing with the fan base. [/QUOTE]
