His parents buy the season tickets....does that make him less of a fan than the guy sitting next to him that possibly paid for his tickets???........I don't think so. You don't call your fans out like Pollard did in that email. I sent this link to a friend of mine that works in the athletic department of one of the state's smaller universities and he was blown away by Pollard's response and tone.

This isn't about whether or not buying tickets makes you a bigger fan. This is about one guy with zero perspective who calls out Pollard and threatens to never spend money on tickets again when in reality he has never purchased a ticket from the box office or made a donation to the U. The email made a big point to say he was no longer going to support the program financially, Pollard just called his bluff.
