It’s a little different than a lot of, ‘Get it to the big guy and dunk.’” "USF doesn’t keep track of its season-ticket purchasers by age bracket. Nor does 11-time national champ Connecticut or 2017 national champ South Carolina. But FSU and Florida do. Of the Seminoles’ 1,620 women’s hoops season-ticket holders this season, 1,199 are 50 or older. UF, which has averaged close to 400 season-ticket holders the last three seasons, indicated a sample set of its ticket database revealed 85 percent of the group consisted of individuals 55 and older."
