This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

No. It’s an indictment of the current sports ticket climate by Chicagond99

Lots of people here blame Kelly, or Jack, or ND in general for lower ticket demands. But if you really look around, this is an issue almost everywhere. First off, USC isn’t good or exciting this year. They’ll probably finish up around .500. So I wouldn’t expect people to want to pay premium prices for it. But if you look all over, ticket demand is lower, and secondary market prices this close to Gameday are almost always below face value unless it’s really a marquee game. Michigan is ranked #6, and there are tickets still available for Saturdays game (with prices on stubhub less than half of face value). Bama’s game against Tennessee is sold out, but you can get them on stubhub for under face. Tickets to tonight’s Dodgers NLCS can be had for under face value!

Anyway, tickets being available for cheap on the secondary market doesn’t really say anything about that program.
