Pale in comparison to the scholarships, all the other students are paying more so Biff can chase the dream of becoming a pro-sportsball athlete while majoring in Fuck All studies.
I think that many schools have a big enough sports fanbase that donates money (partially to continue being sportsball fans) that they should be able to account for their sports program out of those donations.
Oh they CAN, but they still pull from tuition depending on the school. UF for example, between boosters, alumni, ticket sales and merchandise, they make more than enough to run the sports programs, but still pull from tuition as well. If a student wants to go to a football game, good luck even affording a ticket, let alone getting ahold of one. That's how expensive the tickets are. Shit some schools give tickets to student for free.
I think most schools reserve tickets for students, and they can pay a lower rate. Now, they may not reserve enough space in the stadium that all students that want tickets can get one to every game.
