Tennessee adds 10% talent fee

[MagicDawg]

The University of Tennessee announced a 10 percent ?talent fee? will be added to the cost of 2025 football season tickets, in preparation for the arrival of revenue sharing with college athletes. That, along with an initial 4.5 percent average increase, means Vols fans will pay 14.5 percent more on average for tickets next season.

My comment: Increased costs are always eventually passed along to the consumer.

Good. Our old school fans will only buy season tickets and refuse to do NIL. This is the only way for our good ole boys

This will take some creative problem solving to get over the hump at State. It will be a challenge. Lower income state on average, less graduates and population.

Solve this riddle and you need to be paid as much as the head football coach.

Not only less graduates, but a lot of students who move away and just don't have the interest in athletics.


When you make yourself the Poster Child as " The People's University" and have 1000's of foreign National graduates who don't give a rip about a American sports, you also decrease you donor pool even though you increased your Alumni!
