    Wait you are saying that because I graduated in 2000 my degree from NDSU is worth more today than it was then because of the football team??

    And no I don't think they need to raise any more fees towards students. They are already paying more for 1 year than I did for 4 or 5 years when I was at NDSU.

    It's not football but it's just as visible nationally and an eye opener for me: Kansas lowering basketball season ticket prices

    This was done in response to the COVID pandemic. Kansas has sold out 306 consecutive games... if they're lowering ticket prices for a commodity as in-demand as KU basketball I'd have to imagine this is something we're going to see across much of college sports since many schools were already seeing attendance declines. Does NDSU football and/or basketball follow suit?

    This has to be a reaction from feedback they've received IMO. Not sure that's required at this point at NDSU but if they are not selling out then they need to lower prices until demand is exceeded again. It's pretty simple supply and demand economics.

    Agree with this take. I think it will depend a lot on what the whole situation looks like when tix go on sale.

    I can't imagine raising student fees on athletics is going to go over too well during a time when student interest in athletics is as low as it has been since....the move to D1 probably?

    Jacking up the price on a commodity the students aren't even taking advantage of probably wouldn't be very good optics.

    I would think if they were gonna do a noticeable jump in fees, they should have done it when the student body was plump full at football games.

    Lol one of your dumber posts and that's saying a lot.........

    How about we start a fee for jock sniffers and social media trolls like you instead? Has a better chance of happening anyway.

    I'm so sorry I dared asked the question BUT 15,000 student (I realize less than that right now) raising $1,5 million is $100 for all sports per year. This is not a huge amount per student considering all the athletics perks that go with being a student.

    There is zero chance the student fee will be raised. They looked at this not long ago.

    Just over rule the students......how is it they can have all the say. Too bad. Costs money to be DI. If they want small time go attend one of the smaller ND colleges. Crap NDSU has one of the lowest student fees in the US. $100 per year for all the club's and sports is dirt cheap. Maybe if they paid more they would see the need to attend and get their money's worth.

    This argument is boring.
