Doesn’t Larry have a Billion dollar bailout fund?
Doesn’t it make more sense to tap the Fed at zero percent than your struggling fans living in the middle of a Civil War Battlefield?

So tone deaf, bush league on UW AD part for following 3 reasons.
1) Passive aggressive tone of e-mail. Yes I want to step up and be all in/give me ticket money as a donation, OR No I won't step up and be all in on the donation just apply them to season tickets next year.
2) Giving people TWO WHOLE WEEKS to make decision on what to do. What is the damn hurry for? Season isn't starting for 6 months best case scenario.
3) Any e-mail you send out will be at best seen by 95% of people. Other 5% our of country, on vacation, family issue, etc etc etc. On 40k base even if 99% reply that is still 400 people who won't and with lowest season ticket price point at $500 that is minimum 200K they will be just taking from ticket holders. When they happens, how many of those people are going to call and bitch, but more importantly tell them to FO with their tickets in general?
Answer vast majority
This isn't a misunderstanding/error in communication. This is a deliberate action by the AD to grab whatever money they can from the best customers they have with mentality of results be damned.
Newsflash Jen: You've lost 5k season ticket holders the last 5 years with the best run we've had here in 30 years, and don't have your former bosses fan base who also wears purple and gold (Roll that tiger) with a 20k waiting list peeing themselves to grab them. -

Today I learned that despite being a multi year letter winner I am not “all in” on Husky athletics. I’m not even 50 percent “in”. I just asked my money on account to be credited to 2021.
