It’s a business

It’s business just like anywhere else.

Money is king.

Difference being, if the price of tires or chicken wings or TVs skyrockets, you don’t have people defending it. They say, “yeah it outrageous these days,” not “It’s a business.”

Ticket prices should be going down because of this

That's not how supply and demand works. The only way prices will ever go back down is after a couple of 4-6 win seasons.

Anyone making under 100k a year, donating to UT; crazy. You're building the monster that is shutting the doors on your family.

I remember when football, not just the athletic department, donated to campus. I also remember when things were so bad that football asked campus for that money back!

Then add in the cost of tuition and the university is a money making behemoth.

Yes it is different than those things.

Unfortunately, this is how NIL and the players being classified as employees of the school, university will have to continue to raise prices on everything that is marketable.

I keep saying this, but, NIL will take the ability for the common, blue collar types to attend college football.
