However, Marshall a member of USA Conference sells prime seats for $25-35. With the proper marketing YSU could bring in probably .5 $ mil each home game. Ticket sales about $400,000, parking $10,000, Concessions $20,000, Tail Gaters $5000.00 not counting season tickets and lodges...........Tickets could be $20-35 not $50 to 75. YSU prior to the current debacles always put more than 15,000 fans in the seats.........time to go FBS

Maybe, but those things you suggest happen gradually. Price elasticity from Econ 101. And if you total your numbers, you're not making as much above current levels as you think. The big money comes from TV contracts.
1a4YSU:
Now is not the time to worry about conferences or revenues.............What is important is that YSU hire a n experienced coach that can take the YSU football program to FBS. Also, YSU needs to hire an Athletics Dept Director that can take all athletics to their deserving levels. Look at YSU mens basketball. The team has had one winning season in the last 10 years. The winning season was because YSU played several lower division teams that year. I am not saying to fire the current Athletics Dept Director. I am saying lay off one of the asst Athletic Dept Directors, and move the current AD into an assistant role. Then YSU should hire an experienced FBS/Division type AD . YSU needs to rock the athletics boat before the boat sinks
Observer:
Im not quite sure what universe your residing in, but a University with massive budget problems is never, ever going to be able to excel in FBS. The sheer budget issues alone would make that impossible, let alone having zero name to recruit with. Marshall transistioned when they were the hottest thing going in FCS and look what happened there. Unless the university and donors see it prudent to up the operation budget of athletics by 12-15 million, plus 2 to 3 million for upgrades and facilities, YSU in the FBS is DOA.
1a4YSU:
Actually, you should be more responsible and read all the posts on this subject. Also, you have no idea about the YSU budget. You also have no idea about the cost of going FBS. That is, whether or not it is too costly compared to the entire program staying in the abyss ,as it now is. ...........YSU's budget is fine. If YSU's budget was so dire, the administrators would eliminate some of the positions that could easily be combined or eliminated. Also, If and most likely when YSU's football goes FBS/1a, the revenues will increase greatly............Fans want to see quality football. Perhaps, it is you that lives in a lil make believe universe...........named Observer's Place.

Folks, I am not particularly well-versed on internet communication terminology, but I believe that the phrase "Don't feed the troll" might apply here. The more we respond to this nonsense, the more we prolong this silliness.
