Oy vey.
Really it is simple math.
Clearly ticket sales are not the solution nor increased attendance.

UA intercollegiate athletic departments say they have about 140,000 fans.
UA intercollegiate athletics departments
say their yearly cost is around $14 million a years.
That is 27 cents a day per fan ($100 a year).
Get every fan to donate 27 cents a day and then the State of Alaska can afford UA intercollegiate athletics.

otherwise these sport entertainment programs should be eliminated and we can move to a club model like APU-which produces more olympians the whole UA system combined.

and please stop burdening students with mandated fees for a sport entertainment industry they clearly do not suppourt in the majority.
