I'm not sure, but I don't think the NCAA looks for a % amount. They require a guaranteed amount. Back in '03 the schools had to guarantee a certain amount of money and pay for the ref's and other minor miscellaneous expenses. If I recall correctly, it was $20,000 in '03. Obviously, it would be higher today. If Colgate bid and didn't bid high enough, shame on them. The school has enough money and always is asking for more donations.Heck, they would have saved thousands in travel expenses. They find enough money to send other teams all over the country and overseas every year. Colgate wants to get fans to games and when a big opportunity to do it comes up they shrink. I'm guessing Colgate will have 60 fans at the game.

60 fans? You are probably right. I have always chuckled at the phrase referencing a team's fans willing to attend an "away" event at any cost, "They travel well." I guess we don't travel well. I wonder how many SHSU fans would have travelled well to Hamilton????
