[QUOTE="HurdyGurdyEer, post: 129403009, member: 1746848"] Season ticket sales go up and down. If an increasing number of fans are not happy with the direction of the program then season ticket sales will decrease. Plus, given that you must make a donation to be eligible to buy season tickets donations also go down when fans are increasingly disgruntled. Keaton is not to be believed when he suggests that attendance/ticket sales don't factor into the equation. They do. But Keaton is correct when he says the real decision makers are not as fickle as the average fan who buys a ticket. And the chef example .... really? If a chef were in a cook-off against another chef who had better ingredients and better facilities you would probably expect the second chef to do better, right? A meal in a restaurant stands on its own (unlike a football team) unless that meal is pitted against another chef's meal (like a football team). [/QUOTE]
