I think BYU is half the cost (tuition) as Utah and Utah St?

BYU is 50% less.

What percentage of all sports pass holders actually attend the games?

Usu doesn’t get in for free. Those students are paying high fees for season

Exactly, she should open a dialogue with athletic dept rather preach on Twitter
