If seats are 18-24" apart, laterally, and rows are what, 3' behind the one in front ? How the heck are they going to get 50% in that stadium with people yelling at the top of their lungs? All the while telling the 51% establishments they have to stay closed? And I'll bet a hot topic after the 1st game will be commenting on the distancing police.
When the Athletic Department finds itself with shortfalls in the budget, it won't come out of the football program as much as it will the smaller sports. But sacrifices must be made for what those 3-4 athletes said.histag10 said:

Will they be refunding sports passes?

Haha haha!
They should be refunding a lot more than that already, with the whole TAMUOnline. Don't see that happening.

That's actually what some Aggies are doing to other Aggies (football players) when none of them has damaged the statue, only protested having to walk past a Confederate general every day who is glorified in the greatest place of honor on campus.histag10 said:
intolerance of others with differing view points.

Did Fisher and/or Bjork attend the anti-Sully protests?
Also no athletic department in the world is going to punish athletes for doing interviews in the offseason.
Expecting the athletic department to push back on athletes wanting to say something is a recipe for a PR disaster and just a wild thing to expect them to do.

There is a lot to be said for and against Sully, but you have to at least admit they have a right to be uncomfortable about A&M glorifying someone who fought a war for the right to literally own black people.
Just curious, do you hope you are correct or incorrect regarding the length of the football season and "what's coming," and just what do you think is coming?FlyRod said:
There's not going to be a football season...at least not one that lasts more then three games. Y'all are cute in your blissful ignorance. You really have no idea what's coming. And honestly, take some comfort in that.

Right, the "unity" march.bobinator said:
It wasn't even a protest against anything really, just a unity march.
Donors are not cows who live in a vacuum. You can't just milk them no matter what happens elsewhere. Some actions will result in reactions, even from the donor class. I actually don't think most had a problem with the unity march. But when athletes like Mond and Tucker get in the faces of old ags at the Sully statue while calling for its removal; when Young jumps on a windshield note hoax and basically alleges the A&M community is full of racists and then says nothing once it's proven a hoax; and when 1/2 of the season ticket holders (12th Man contributors) aren't going to get to see games, then donors might decide not to contribute.bobinator said:
If people had issues with the unity walk then it probably says more about them looking to be upset about something and I'm not sure how they've survived the last few months. It was literally just the black athletes leading a walk across an empty campus to raise awareness of racial issues they face/have faced/etc.
It wasn't a protest again donors, Sul Ross or whatever else and it didn't disrupt anything.
