UConn giving students free tickets to first round game

[HuskyNan]

I'd like to apologize for offending anyone with my heavy-handed comment. My intent was to highlight the contrast between turnstyle attendance and paid attendance. It was not meant to disparage the students or university. Nonetheless, clearly it was misguided.

Graciously done.

Maybe in the early stages, but i cant imagine them having 5 dollar tickets these days. Even Wake Forest tickets are 10 bucks.. I paid $13 for a ticket at Elon @HuskyNan



That may be true, but i know that at least in the UNC system, the schools have really high student fees which help subsidize athletics. They might get free tickets, but u might be paying 500 a semester in athletic fees.

UConn does the same thing. Part of their student fees goes to athletics.

The students showed up big time for the UCF second round game last year, also on a Monday night. The atmosphere that night was bedlam, as loud as I have ever heard it for a women`s game there. (The Shabazz Napier buzzer beater game against Florida has it beat, but not by much.)

The students helped pull UConn over the finish line against UCF that night.

We were there also. It was sooooo loud! Loudest game I've ever been to!

This is how attendance figures are jacked up for women's game. Meaningless stat.
