I read on a GT football site that Tennessee is charging a 10% talent fee to all Tennessee football game tickets plus any other reasons why tickets go up in price. I tried Putting it here but it didn’t look right.lol

a 10%
 
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- In what's believed to be the first arrangement of its kind, Tennessee fans for all sports will be charged a 10% "talent fee" on tickets to help pay athletes as part of the new revenue-sharing plan set to begin in 2025.

This might be the only way for some schools to pay these kids. They gone take it out of your ass if you buy a sports ticket rather we like it or not. Here I was for donating money 💰 😂. I copied that off news from Tennessee football.

I actually think this is a great idea...Lets face it this is pro football without the salary cap...I know how baseball works so it is very similar to this as baseball has no salary cap...I know teams that have spent big in free agency almost always raise their ticket prices to augment the salary increase the organization is paying out...Would you rather pay 25 bucks more a ticket to watch a team that has a legitimate shot to win it all or save the $25 bucks a ticket to watch a mediocre team that has no chance of winning it all? This is a great idea in my opinion but I am sure I am in the minority...Hell they should jack up the luxury boxes and use a large percentage of that revenue as well to fund their NIL stream...Great idea for Tennessee and I can tell ya that fan base will pay it to be competitive...Roll on down to Knoxville some time and check out that scene...My son lives there and can see the stadium from his house...Hell he even makes a few bucks selling parking...I am sure you will see more teams follow suit...

@the-funeral-director  I’ve said on here many times I’ll help pay for Penn St to win football games if that’s the changes coming down the pipe. Just win baby!
