[QUOTE="Samuel S, post: 129404125, member: 1754664"] My point is that most of that money not spent on football will still stay in the state in the pockets of people who need it more than the athletic department.

Most people can't afford to do everything they would like to do and have to prioritize discretionary spending. Even fairly well to do people have to subtract season tix, MAC, parking passes and other WVU purchases from what they spend on things they don't need.
