I remember back in the Larry Brown NIT tournament run that SMU made all of Moody General Admission and charged 10 bucks for all tickets. Should just do something like that, hell, cut the cost to 6 dollars, that is the going rate typically on Stubhub anyway.

Just saw that the Aggies made all tickets free for their game and ended up with a large crowd.

We should give the free route a try.

Athletic Dept. on spring break. Leave a message at the sound of the tone.
