POLL: Yay or nay: Every student pays $100-$150 extra every fall semester as part of tuition. That is listed as a “sports fee” but for that the students get a pass to every school sanctioned sporting event.

BYU tuition is low comparatively, but that does not make it a small amount.

Optional or mandatory?

Mandatory base fee, optional extra fee to get guaranteed “good seats”

That’s a bummer. BYU sports will stay average while their funding stays average.

The problem with this is that BYU reports a profit...

Why are you asking students to pay for this? What did they ever do to you?

I’m just suggesting ways for BYU to get more $$$ for sports because the church won’t fund

Sounds like you should talk to ESPN or the Church, and not students? Stop then.

BYU wasn't the elite academic school it is now until it had major sports

BYU has one of the lowest tuition rates in the country. $150 wont hurt them.
