Doesn't Bama include student tickets to non-football events in the cost of attendance?
Maybe if they forced students to pay full price for each and every game, students would have the power of the price signal to influence the quality of their basketball team?
Think about. By handing out reduced priced tickets to Alabama students, the athletic department is basically writing their own checks. But if you forced students to buy their own tickets, and if students aren't impressed with the quality of the non-football athletics, they won't spend their money to attend.
Therefore, you create an incentive system for the athletic department to improve those sports.

Not showing up when you get in for free probably does enough

the incentive, money wise, does not come from students.
as stated, it's probably cheap to have a basketball team. That's why many more small schools have a basketball team, and not a football team.
The SEC needs to have at least one or two, of the big teams (no offense to Kentucky ) to really put it together and go on a streak.
for the powers that be at schools, they've resided themselves to the fact that Kentucky will be good, so we'll let that be.
But just let a Bama, or an LSU, or a Georgia, or a Tennessee, get good, and I mean #1 seed often times good, and watch some feathers get ruffled at the other schools. The ADs at Auburn or wherever won't sit back and do nothing and watch Bama or Georgia go on a big time roll.
