Not many students are as devoted as the people are on this board- And $350 is a major expense for college students.
Not that everyone has this option, but all it takes is a quick check mark for the bill to go to mommy and daddy. Plenty of kids who could don't bother to take the time to check that box. And if they do check the box, they don't bother walking 200 yards to the games.
Newsflash pedro: For some, 50K a year is enough. Mommy and daddy don't like when you send them unnecessary fees. I don't know any kids who go to games and have their parents pay for them.
Guess you missed the first 6 words of my post. I highlighted them for your convenience. And didn't I say many of the ones that do check the box don't bother going to the games, hence you don't know anyone who goes to the games that has their parents pay? Pop quiz: if you don't know them, do they not exist?
1. So you really think there are a ton of kids who have their parents buy tickets for them and don't go to the game anyways? Are you a student, and if not, how many students do you know of that do this? Even if you are a student, how many of your friends do this?
2. Obviously I don't know every student that goes to the game, but I know a good amount of kids from different regions of the country with different income levels. No self-respecting college kid wants to ask his parents to buy tickets to sporting events and none I know of do. You aren't 10 years old anymore.
