Cohen:Everything is on the table.
"So this is very weird, because we already have a lot of our revenue in for the next year — with the gate revenue in football, the contributions attached to it,” Cohen explained. “So we have a very robust and comprehensive fundraising campaign that we plan to implement, recognizing that this is a hard time for so many people.
“For example, if we were in a scenario where we weren’t allowed to have all spectators, we would be looking to develop a campaign to ask people that have already made those seat-related contributions to allow us to keep them and those people who have made a season ticket purchase to stay with us and keep their seat. We’ve talked about printing pictures of people in their seats in the stands and all kinds of creative ways to try to keep that support going.”

My guess is if you ask for your money back you will be punished by losing your seats. That's what I read.

Butt yeah @Cohen12 is going to take the short term approach here and destroy support long term.MikeDamone said:My guess is if you ask for your money back you will be punished by losing your seats. That's what I read.

Her revenue is like the school's. Dust in the wind if they don't deliver product -
Seems a bit unreasonable (maybe even delusional) to think you are going to get to hold onto a meaningful part of that revenue if the season is canceled, or stadium capacity is cut dramatically

Yeah, they're going to have to give that back if fans are kept out.

Assuming the quotes weren't taken out of context, Cohen comes off looking pretty damn stupid.

That they are seriously communicating a “best case“ scenario where they lose only 10-12% of the gate is laughableGladstone said:Assuming the quotes weren't taken out of context, Cohen comes off looking pretty damn stupid.
I’m looking forward to Caple’s article in The Athletic in a quarter or so where Cohen describes in great detail her strategy for holding back her tears as she finally does furloughs and layoffs (“I mean, who could have foreseen the season would be canceled? No, I didn’t fire Bob Gregory - he has a FAMILY!”)
