I am another fan that is contemplating whether or not to renew this year. All of your points that you listed are the growing pains of trying to become a big-time program.
The problem for the fan is that Bleymaier and company are running the program first to maximize revenue with a secondary goal of improving the program's prestige.
Most notbably the schedule lacks. I understand you need UC Davis to fill the schedule and make more money, but Gene's insistance on a 1 for 1 home and away is getting stale. Take a look at Fresno's schedule and tell me that BSU could not do the same. They could charge $120 a head and I would pay it to see Nebraska play on the blue.

I am willing to bet many will be following that same path. I just look at it another way, I really want a new HD TV . I also forgot to link to your article, http://fightfightbsu.blogspot.com/2009/03/blue-co...

I may well be following your lead, JT. I am going to try to get creative to keep them…but at least for this year, I don't see how I can foot that bill. The sad thing is that on a recent poll I did on my website…57% indicated that they would NOT be renewing this year. That blows. We could have one of our best teams ever and people may not be there to see it.
