Allotment for the Taxslayer Bowl was only 6,000 tickets for each school.
They did sell out of those, and did receive more tickets.
I didn't see 15K, at this point, but am very confident that at least 15K Tennessee fans will show up.

Also, through University of Tennessee, the University sells the tickets for $60 each.

UIowa is selling them, starting at $105.

What? How does that happen?

Good point this may be similar to the ticket scandel at KU here a couple years ago. That may be the only way to clean the house at this point is for something so egregious the Regents can't ignore it.

What? How does that happen?

Because Barta knows that Iowa has a lot of fans so stupid they'll jump at the chance to pay their hard earned money to pay the salary of a guy who is a worse coach than Paul Rhodes.

I REALLY don't like Barta but if people are stupid enough to pay that then they really don't deserve to have any money.

I disagree with Deace I think JP will be allowed to hire as many head football coaches as he wants as long as FH is happy and he continues to win. JP backed his way into the ultimate diversion. Cyclone fans love JP he is their champion they will not turn on him if he has to can Rhoads.

The informed will cancel their donations and season tickets, while the uninformed will do the opposite.

The Iowa-support-cycle will continue.

Same bus, same drivers, new riders.

Ticket allotment is 8,000, and Iowa can't sell half of them, and are starting at $105/ticket.
On StubHub, on the Tennessee corner, tickets have dropped to $44.99.

The Iowa ticket office is like that gas station holding strong at $3.00/gallon, while the station across the street is selling gas at $2.50/gallon.
Then, the same gas station selling gas at $3.00/gallon, charges you an additional 20% fee, just because.

I guess when you pay well over market value for a head coach, it's make sense for this same organization to try to sell bowl tickets well over market value.

In addition, Iowa sold 10,800 through the University last year.
3,500 - 4,000 tickets sold, is a significant drop, year over year.

It can snowball, fast.
Just look at basketball attendance under Big Lick coaching and Little Lick playing.
