A local radio station recently went out to a restaurant/bar in Little Italy with 200 tickets to give away to a San Diego State football game.It came back with 200 tickets.
Another radio station has a program where it gives listeners “points” in an Internet contest for such things as typing in the Word of the Day.
A $25 gift certificate to Jack in the Box or McDonald’s normally goes for 40,000-50,000 points. Four SDSU football tickets can usually be had for less than 1,000 points.
Does anybody care about SDSU football?
Apparently not, according to the radio station promotions and the number of empty seats at an Aztec home football game.
Athletic director Jeff Schemmel would have you believe that his department – and especially the football program – is able to carry its own financial weight.
If that’s so, then why does President Stephen Weber keep borrowing from a “one-time fund” to give millions to the athletic department?
The Aztecs conclude their season Saturday at home against No. 19 Brigham Young. Unless there are thousands of Mormons in the stands supporting BYU, expect another virtually empty stadium.
This week’s predictions:
BYU 38, Aztecs 20
Chargers 20, Kansas City 17
