Ticket Greed

DTP said:
Schools don’t pay players. Ticket money doesn’t cover NIL. NIL is financed by donations. Canes Connection doesn’t get money from the ticket office.

I know we want to blame kids getting money for ticket price increases but the two have nothing to do with each other.

We can, however blame coaching salaries and bloated staffs. That money comes directly from the athletic department budget. That’s where ticket money goes.

While true that it doesn't fund NIL, if the House deal is approved schools will be able to (and required to) pay money directly to athletes. The House deal is expected to be approved and be in place before next season.

Yes, but eventually is as soon as a few months from now.

Now that said, even if they werent paying the players they would still charge as much as they could b/c college football has turned into an arms funding race for everything (not just paying the players)

Yeah my original point being that ticket prices have been shooting up for years and it’s not just “oh, they have to pay the players now”.

I know prices are going up every where and im sure tickets will now be part of funding NIL. But good lord the UM ticket office should be ashamed for what the are charging for single game ticket. Cheapest uppers start at 209 with mid field uppers near 300 and the lowers are 400-600+ on top of 100$ for YELLOW LOT parking. What should be a rowdy Sold Out affair under the hard rock lights may have a ton of open seats cause the school priced the fans out as there are a TON of tickets still available. SMH.

So it has begun,

Everyone enjoy paying the NIL for kids let alone Carson Becks house and Lamborghini collection .
I hope it all goes PPV at $500.00 per game with empty stands pricing the middle class fans right out of the stadiums.

I had to up my donation level to $750 to have the option of buying my Green Parking passes before they sold out. My initial day to purchase my parking passes was going to be April 22nd.

jesus, they tried that on me but said no.. I got the blue lot no issue last year. $500 plus the cost of parking to pick immediately.

I pick Monday on the 21st at 1pm for parking so I’ll see if it works out again or I need lube like everyone suggested for last season 😂
