It's included in the 10 grand.
What's that cover now a days maybe 2 cops with the overtime. You aren't getting much of a police presence for $1200 bucks. But overall two east coast teams traveling to michigan, what a complete waste of money to play a game in front of friends and family's. If I was a parent I'd be pissed that I have to schlep all the way to michigan to watch a game. When it could have been played here in NJ or Maryland. That principle of theirs is a complete jackass.
The players will remember this game for there entire life. Playing in the big house matters to people and I bet it really matters to high school football players. PC may very well be able to use this trip and game as a recruiting tactic to get more of the best players in Jersey to attend PC. What kid would not want to play in the big house?
Sorry but this is going to look like the Boston College spring game. Playing in front of a 100,000 people is what makes playing in the big house special. Even if they get 1,000 people to this, it's going to look and sound like one huge crevasse. What's so special about that, whoopee the stadiums huge, get out the panorama camera for a shot of that one. Those pictures are going to look like a huge morgue. Now that's something you can sell recruits.
From the article:
I guess when someone hands them a bag of $100's it becomes their money, and they absolutely can do with they want with it as long as the team shows up in Michigan.
That is total speculation to the 5th power. Kids are kids and a trip to the big house is awesome regardless if 2 people are watching when you are a high school kid. You guys are thinking like the old farts that you are not a teenager. It's not just the game it's the entire experience of traveling there and the pre game the locker room. It's just a real neat thing for a kid not for an old guy. I loved the big house last fall had a great time was a bucket list check off for me. Not as loud as penn state or as exciting but I think kids eat this stuff up.
Puleeze.It's Schlep not Shlub.As in: The dumb Shlub who schleps out to that game.
They will conveniently have BOTH teams on campus already the following day for the Hawaii/Meechigan game, you're talking about 100+ unofficial visits on a game day. It would be like having St Thomas Aquinas from Ft Lauderdale play DeMatha Catholic at Rutgers stadium Friday night before game day. Would we not be thrilled?
Every coach is also a recruiter- a salesman. The #1 rule in sales is always be closing. This is a big recruiting boost for Meechigan. If you're on top you don't stay there by resting on your laurels. This was well thought out and well executed.
