I'm talking all ticket sales and the overall athletics budget. If REA can make money by having more open weekends, and thus not have to charge the university $2 million per year, that may be another reason (among a long list of reasons) to drop WIH.
Kennedy said he met with REA and the Alerus to review the contracts and discuss ways to reduce cost and/or increase revenue to UND. I have no proof, but I would put forward a theory that REA told him how they could make more money (and thus charge UND less).
