ow many times have you heard the following statement in reference to attending athletic events at Baylor? You might as well go; you’ve already Hpaid for it. It’s become common knowledge that Baylor students needn’t purchase season tickets or sports passes for athletic events. With a swipe of their ID cards at the gate, students receive a ticket to whatever event they’re attending, no questions asked. There’s even a page on Baylor’s website that reads, “tickets for Baylor students are provided free to all Baylor undergraduate students.” They’re not free, though. Students who pay the general student fee, which was $1,469 for the fall of 2011 for both undergraduate and graduate students, receive one student ticket to all athletic events. In an email to the Lariat, Baylor director of media communications Lori Fogleman said the general student fee helps provide the funding for numerous student services, activities and events. One of those activities specifically included is athletic events. While paying a fee to support the upkeep of the university and its facilities is understandable, the way athletic tickets are paid for should be revamped to better serve ardent sports fans, casual fans and Baylor students as a whole. Before finding an alternative to athletic ticket distribution, the university should make certain information accessible to students. Namely, students should be able to know what exactly the general student fee covers. The most specific listing, per Baylor’s website, includes, “building upkeep, library and trolley usage, access tickets separately. For $121 per quarter, Baylor could offer pricing incentives to securing a seat before all student tickets “North Texas students receive free to the Student Life Center (SLC) and law students can purchase tickets to all increase attendance at high-profile games are pulled. admission to all home football contests.” technology around campus.” athletic events in that quarter.
