You sure about that? Tickets on the sideline go for about $2700 each from what I recall.

I know there isn't a flat fee, but if I pay big money for a bunch of years, only to find that the name brand games are being outsourced for TV, why do I keep shelling out every year if I just get a couple good SEC games a year? Get some of these games at home. No reason to play a team like BYU in a neutral site game. If it were USC or Texas, I could understand.

I know these matchups aren't available as Home & Home, but I can see where season ticket holders will start getting frustrated.

We play Miami in 2018 in Dallas. Why not have tried to get them for a H&H?

The most expensive ticket in Tiger Stadium (Excluding Stadium Club and Suites) in 2014 was $1,450, unless I can't read a map and do simple math.

You know the answer to this. Obviously the school makes some money off of playing the neutral site games. They are usually in prime time and Texas is a very fertile recruiting ground that gives us a good chance to make a good impression. They aren't scheduling these games just to piss fans off, despite what some of the fans think.

That's all any school in the country gets for the most part these days. A few good conference games.
