This is long overdue. I have a buddy that upped his donation to $12,500 this year in an effort to get better bball seats and he was still stuck in the corner of the parquet. Hopefully with this move by JP those with the deepest pockets will get the best seats as it should be.
Personally, I'm kind of torn on this one. I agree with what you are saying though to an extent. Where I don't agree is if someone has had those seats for 30 years. I don't know the amounts people have been paying over the years. $1000/year may not sound like much now, but if someone has been paying that for 30 years, $1000 for the right to buy a basketball seat was a hell of a lot of money in 1984. Obviously money talks, but you should be rewarded for your dedication to the program as well.
Obviously money is going to be the end all factor as we keep reaching for more success, but you can't forget, some of these people, obviously not all, but a lot of them that are sitting there now are what helped keep Cyclone sports going during the lean years, that shouldn't just be thrown away.
I guess the big issue is how much they are paying and for how long. IMO, there should have been regular increases along the way for people to be able to keep their seats.
