Thread 'UT adding "talent fee" to tickets'

Given NIL is basically an arms race we need to continue to be in the front of the pack of, and that if we continue to have the season we think we will and reload with a top 5 recruiting class the demand for tickets is going to go through the roof, I'd argue we should probably implement the same thing.

I much prefer it this way as an additional soaking of the ticket buying customer to the mandatory "athletic fee" for every student when I was at the University of Maryland that went up every **** year I was there

Big difference. Tennessee has a rabid fan base and the stadium sells out every ticket for every game, regardless of who the Volunteers are playing, and no doubt they will continue to do even after the 10% fee added on. Sorry, but Miami would not sell out every game on their schedule even if we were were riding a 20 game win streak. Add on a 10% fee to that? Get real.

This will be an arms race of the likes that few can imagine.

Tennessee announce 10% talent fee?

Alabama and Georgia announce 40% victory fees in response. And their fans will pay it.

The University of Texas will counter with a 70% sovereign fee in response. And their fans will pay it.

And so on.

Soon the $15M NIL figure for a team will seem laughably small. Make it $75 or $85M, per year. Perhaps more.

So you say, fine, I won't go. I'll just watch online or on television.

Then in the SEC's next contract negotiation, a 35% NIL viewership privilege fee will be negotiated on top of the normal increase. The Big Ten will counter with a similar fee, and those costs will then be passed on to the consumer by streamers and cable providers.

Eventually a select number of college football teams will have salaries equivalent to NFL franchises. Meanwhile normal students will be in ever increasing debt while their schools pour unbelievable resources to field a program with the expense of the Miami Dolphins or New England Patriots.
