Wow, that’s really, really strange. The big 10 is wild. That’s crazy and greedy. Students and parents already shell out a lot for tuitionI did a few searches.
Average ticket price and students ticket prices. According to this students do pay, and not all are guaranteed a seat:
I'm assuming those numbers {$20-$30 per game) are figured in to the average ticket price.
The band doesn't pay (228 students) but that number is offset by the 3-4 thousand additionally they pack in for the Meechigan game.
I’ve never ever seen students pay for tickets. I attended 3 universities (albeit early, mid 90s and early 2000’s) and never once paid for a ticket to a game in the student section
And I’ve got a niece at Duke and a nephew at Sanford and I’m 100% sure they don’t pay for tickets. They go to games all the time. I could be wrong but I don’t think Miami charge students for tickets either (I can’t vouch for Miami, though)
The activity fee for athletics and beyond is added to your tuition for both semesters. Students usually wait in line for their free student tickets
