They discuss season tickets sales rising and if he has spoken to Coach Richt since Miami's win at the Russell Athletic Bowl. They also talk about the national publicity the Canes basketball team has received, attendance at the Watsco Center and whether James has spoken to any of the football players that left for the NFL.
