SEASON TICKETS

[GridIron Pimp]

Went to renew my season today and noticed a $285.00 surcharge for CAF Scholarship Fund. Not sure what this is but I ain't paying it! These athletes are getting paid thru NIL and now the University wants to charge a scholarship fee.... WoW. Did anyone else see the increase for this? DId you renew? I am not

Highly suspect that CAF scholarship is a euphemism for NIL. Remember that, starting with the 2025-26 season, schools are going to start paying the players $20.5 million each year. UofL has to raise that money somehow, and football and men’s basketball season ticket holders are going to be the biggest potential sources for generating that new revenue.

Or not.

Right now, that money is being thrown in a hole with no idea who, how, or what it’s being spent/given to.

I believe a lot of attitudes are changing. Even on this board I sense a different attitude in some of the posting.

I hope somehow there are some controls put in place so WE can know what, exactly, we’re “donating” to.

IF we decide to do so.

Call the ticket office and ask them.

Not sure where your seats are located. I’m in 205. Had similar increase in price this year. I called ticket office and they advised that they added a mandatory donation to that section this year.

Unless some Corporate Sponsor steps up in a very big way; fans and particularly ticket holders should expect this to continue. “Pay for Play” is the new normal, and it is necessary if UL expects to remain relevant in these D1 sports.

205 Row Q, I left a message and email to ticket office and no one contacted me. I am not renewing. I will buy tickets to the better games,

I’ve been paying a donation since I can remember in section 206. Same as they did at Freedom Hall and do at the YUM in MBB
