**********************************************************************"If you want to get into sports, and you are not thinking about sales, I encourage you to try other avenues. But if you are striking out and you are not getting your foot in the door, if there are no other options, you should definitely consider sales." - Nate Silverman on ticket sales "bad reputation" among students interested in getting into sports.
