What will be the UW response to issuing refunds?
I say they tell people to piss off on the seat donations, those are a “charity gift”.
They will offer some deal down the road on tickets rather than refund the money. Including extra points (if everyone gets points, who cares?)
If you want your money back you will be labeled a jerk who doesn’t support the program.

Also we need to @FirePete from the cushy consulting gig.
They will keep the money already put down but will apply to future ticket sales. Then in 2021 jack up the prices so you’ll still owe more
Don't fuck around with the underlings. Go straight to the top LIKE A DAWG!!!
Title IX is not an NCAA guideline, it's federal law. For football programs to remove themselves from the requirements of Title IX, they'd have to completely sever association with the university. That would turn college football into a cross between the XFL and a high school all-star game. College football would be, immediately, dead in the water. No minor league football team is filling a stadium with 110,000 fans. No minor league football game is attracting more than a pittance from broadcast partners. The bills would still come due for the fancy stadiums and facilities that the universities provide these teams, and the universities would have to soak the new minor league teams heavily for their continued use. The teams would not profit enough from gate sales, TV revenue, and merchandise to even pay their bills and support recruiting and marketing to current levels, let alone live high off the hog relative to their current situation as you seem to think they would.
The sole reason NCAA football is successful is because it provides entertainment value nearly equal to (greater than, in my opinion) a professional league, yet with the built in fan base and tradition of an associated institution that rolls tens of thousands of students through its doors every year. In short, college revenue sports are popular because of the pro-like atmosphere and coverage (in person and on TV), which is possible because of the massive alumni bases that form the core of college teams' viewing customers.
What interest does a UW grad have in watching the Seattle Buttfucks play the Pullman Sodbusters at Pop Keeney? I'll pay my $200 StubHub tax to watch my Dwags disappoint me against Michigan on a crisp October afternoon, but I wouldn't pay $5 to watch some new minor league team take on the mighty Eugene Knights. There's an actual pro team with actual history just down the road, annoying fan base or not.
Colleges would say fuck it let the NFL pay for their own minor leagues and we would all be worse off for it
