Seeing their favorite TEAM, not star player. The star player will come and go, but the colleges will carry on without them and still fill the stadiums. Marquette lost Vander Blue to the NBA(wasn't even drafted) this season. Do you really think there will less sellouts at Marquette because Vander Blue left early? If you don't agree, then it's time to agree to disagree and bow out, just like last year at this time with the "Fail Mary."

That's like saying because Microsoft will go on whether I work there are not, I shouldn't get paid. That's nonsense. If I generate revenue for a source I should get some of it. At the very least that group shouldn't be able to block my ability to make money from a 3rd party.
