up to many seats. The ROC is a front runner student/fan base. Only come to big games and nothing more.

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?

Sea Chicken

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

DrKennethNoisewater

ok, I still vote no.

Sea Chicken

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

DrKennethNoisewater

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?

Iki_Balam

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

DrKennethNoisewater

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

USU did that to me and I hated it. It doesn't help when I cheer for BYU.

BYU doesn't already do that? They used to.

Not exactly how the U model works, but pretty close. 👍

These games give students a fun atmosphere to develop socially. I vote yes.

Most good schools don't have great major sports.

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

That doesn't mean it was because of sports.

The dress and grooming standards started in 1972 they brought success to sports

The Ivy League does have major sports, D1 in fact....

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