17,000 seats * $50 per ticket * 10 games = $8,500,000If they draft Tebow, pay him $1 million per year - then they might get a return of $8.5 millionBUT - they will have to play Tebow and not just have him standing on the sideline.-------- Original Message --------

Florida governor urges Jaguars to draft Tebow
The Associated Press
TALLAHASSEE — Florida Gov. Charlie Crist thinks Tim Tebow could be the
answer to the Jacksonville Jaguars attendance problems.
Crist said Monday that he’s talked with the Jaguars ownership about
taking the celebrated Florida quarterback in the NFL Draft next April
as a means to sell more season tickets and keep the team from moving
out of Jacksonville.
About 17,000 fans chose not to renew their season tickets this year,
many citing the economic climate. About 30,000 seats were empty Sunday
for Jacksonville’s 23-18 victory over Houston.
Tebow, who grew up in Jacksonville, won the Heisman Trophy in 2007 and
led the Gators to a national championship last year. He is a finalist
for this year's Heisman Trophy.
