Question about bids

[TheGreatBolo]

What is the process in acquiring a first round home game? Submitting a monetary bid? What kind of bid does it take and what % goes to the NCAA? How much does the money factor matter? If my team is 11-0 and rolling and I put in a $100 bid, do I still get a home game? Is the bid a guarantee of ticket sales and what if you go beyond - the NCAA gets a % of the gate?

Thank you for the information. Good article. Heard off the cuff from a not-so-reliable source that Woof Woof bid high. Richard Johnson, the AD, said we are going strong with a bid. Again, a source that may be in the wind.

What was ASU's bid? Is that public information?

I've never seen it published. I've seen some fairly reasonable estimates and there probably are people on this board who have that information. But I get the feeling that it's something Charlie Cobb and the other ADs would rather not make public. It's also possible that no one in the media has asked.

Wouldn't we be able to petition the university for the info under the Freedom of Information Act? Not that it matters to me at all, but I think it would work.

Why would any App fan want to get propriatary information in cyber space that another school could use to its advantage to help determine how to bid against us to host a game????

Woof must be expecting all 4,000 to show up.
