You couldn't pay me to go
The University of Michigan's basketball program has hit an all-time low. With a dismal student turnout for men's basketball games, the athletics department has decided to offer students incentives for coming to games.
First, the school has halved the student ticket price (from $200 to $99) after repeated losing seasons. Most recognize that students are essentially paying $33 for three games — Ohio State, Duke and Michigan State. Of course, those are three games the Wolverines don't stand a fighting chance to win, but they'll probably attract the biggest crowds.
For the students who show stellar attendance records (gosh, that sounds a lot like U-M), they'll be rewarded with money back for their ticket fee and even university apparel. Come watch our team lose and we'll give you stuff. We'll see how it works.
