Turn it (color here)?

OK, what color do you get when you mix baby blue with red? Mauve? Indigo? I have no idea, but I suspect we might see it Saturday in Kenan Stadium when a good percentage of the crowd will be wearing red rather than the Tar Heel blue typically found in Chapel Hill.

Will that be the case? Can UNC fans allow it to happen, even those who have given up on John Bunting's team? I suspect many will dump tickets for the right price. But will that be $100? Face value? Or free of charge?

Here's a plan. Discount the tickets to fill the stadium, but request a donation at the door for the "Save Bunting's Job" fund. The State fans will certainly pony up a few dollars.

I like that idea. But, I think what you do is only discount the tickets for card-carrying UNC fans. Make up for the losses in gate revenue by doubling or tripling ticket prices for N.C. State/"Save Bunting's Job" fans.

Since Carolina's football program is a natural disaster, I think your plan would be considered price gouging.
