I do wish VT would at least charge some nominal fee like this

Would prefer a slightly higher season ticket, something around $100-120. Put that money back into the program. Let students in free, but charge adults something for attending just to generate a little revenue. It's probably better to not try to fund the entire athletic department with the most expensive football ticket in the conference...lol
