Weren't people castrating us for doing this? Cincy Groupon

[bullsbucsfan426]

I guess Whit babcock needs to get his act together. Selling Bearcat tickets on Groupon for a nationally televised night game against a conference opponent? And worse, he gave them a CHOICE! 

 

Or perhaps these are methods that all American schools will have to resort to at some time or another.

Hey they sold over 240 already, can't blame 'em if they have empty seats. Getting people in at half price is better than having them not come for $0

[smazza]

castrate is such a harsh word

Economic studies suggest otherwise

Those studies probably aren't applicable because of the uniqueness of Cincy's situation ...

They're not at Nippert Stadium, they're at Paul Brown. Probably have access to way more tickets. I would assume that costs are the same, so why not move some tickets?

Whit is at Va Tech now, and he is a very good businessman - he really did a good job there in the time he was at Cincy.

Did the OP mean to say "chastising" instead of "castrating"?? Otherwise I think this would have been on the news....

[Bullschmutz]

I, for one, have not been castrated.
