you are being ridiculous. Show some respect. Maybe you're too young to realize the greatness he represents.
So? O was great... doesn't Mean he should get free seats?
If O paid for 125 yrs of these tickets UC could likely build the Jerry world of basketball arenas

1. I'm not sure why you expect Oscar to live to age 170 or so, so that's a little random.
2. He would not cough that up. What he does give, though, is publicity to the school every time we're on national TV. It looks great for recruits to see one of basketball's greatest players ever not only went to UC, but still attends games with regularity and will watch you play all the time if you come to UC.
I've been to countless games where fans from the other team have binoculars or their cameras out trying to see him. They point him out to their kids or friends and are star struck. If the Big O had to pay for any seats I'm pretty sure the fans alone would step up and pay the ticket prices for him. The man deserves everything he is given and much more respect.
Wrong. You think 18 year old kids care?
Maybe about Kenyon.
Kenyon was a great player, deserving of all the accolades he received, but Oscar was in another universe as a player.
i don't think oscar is exactly rolling in the kind of dough he'd need to pay for those seats.
Why?

I believe he was a pretty successful businessman after his playing days were over.
L-T your comment is not accurate. You'll just have to trust me on this. I couldn't agree more with your comment.Another thread hijacked. What in the he11 does Oscar's financial success have to do with the new Arena? If we say something negative about Mick Cronin, the whole forum comes apart. But the greatest player in the history of the sport and the school can get slammed and and nobody seems to care that much. Hippocracy at its best.

Pardon my confusion, his comment is not accurate but you couldn't agree more with it?
