Season Ticket Renewal

Did yours have the ticket price included? Mine only shows TP and seat back cost.

I am not helping the cause. I grew up going to games. 3 or 4 a year. Regardless of the cost, I find it to just be a big hassle now and prefer my living room.
Sorry

It’s just not the same anymore. It feels so much like an NFL game now and I stopped watching them closely years ago. Sure, I’ll watch a game every now and then but it’s a long way from “must see TV” now. College sports is sliding quickly down that slippery slope. I heard on ESPN radio this afternoon where an agent for a basketball player at Kansas who is a top 3 draft pick was having conversations with an assistant AD at the game. The asst AD walked down to the trainer and whispered in his ear. Said player was taken out of the game for “cramps.” He appeared to have absolutely nothing wrong with him before the conversation, but Kansas was up by 20 and the agent was “managing the kid’s minutes.” This is what we have allowed to be created by everyone involved except us fans. We’re getting fed some artificial semblance of our favorite teams and everyone is getting rich at the expense of the game and fans.
I don’t get why nobody with any influence isn’t screaming from the rooftops that this isn’t sustainable over the long haul and the college sports system is cannibalizing itself and will eventually collapse. I hate watching this happen and I hate that my favorite pastime is being stolen from me and destroyed.

Wild that people on this sub will look at someone barely making ends meet and say, "You should totally donate monthly to a multimillionaire 18 year old already getting free tuition, room and board, healthcare, meals, gym access and every other perk imaginable."

I don’t think anyone said that. I would never recommend anyone barely making ends meet to spend on NiL at all or anything frivolous, including cable to watch the game.

The only thing I ever mentioned about it is if you watch 15 football games a year, that’s a minimum of 60 hours of your life. Add in the time you post on the board, travel to a game, talk about the team, whatever else and that time equity is a lot more than $5 a month if you have it.

I’m pretty sure no one on this board is making any of the players millionaires. My contributions are the equivalent of buying a few beers or a decent lunch for a player on my favorite team. I can’t be the reason we get some 5 star player, but I can kick in a little to try to help us not get lapped by Big 10 Billionaires

That’s awesome. And at the end of the day, all of us have our hobbies we probably splurge on. Some have several.
