Well, another week in the B1G, another slate of games.
I checked ESPN's scoreboard to see the entry price (As Low As) for each game. And, as we all know, these values do not reflect the extra taxes or fees of which we're accustom.
12 games (8 home games), and now 5 conference games. The B1G schedule is very much upon the conference, the median Ticket is $37.50... OSU has trended towards the median it seems. Lots of excitement + Garbage opponents.
Without further ado...
| Home | Away | As Low As | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maryland | Villanova | $3 | ha |
| Penn St. | Kent St. | $7 | |
| Washington | Northwestern | $9 | |
| Indiana | Charlotte | $10 | Indiana is doing well this year, fans don't care |
| LSU | UCLA | $17 | weird seeing UCLA @ LSU as a B1G game |
| Oregon St. | Purdue | $30 | |
| OSU!!! | Marshall | $45 | The 2004 game will be referenced 8 times during broadcast |
| VaTech | Rutgers | $67 | ??? high ??? |
| Minnesota | Iowa | $71 | |
| TCUN | USC | $81 | |
| Boston College | Mich St. | $93 | ok, I'm shocked this is so high |
| Nebraska | Illinois | $94 | Friday - B1G's Only battle of unbeatens. #Bert |
- 4 Bargains: $10 or less
- An FCS & a bad MAC team are understandable
- A conf game in Washington? Where's the excitement?
- Indiana is thriving this year, but fans aren't sold.
- Charlotte is bleh and fans know what happens once the ranked B1G teams come calling.
- 3 Mid Tiers: $17 to $45
- LSU lost the opener and nobody cares about UCLA, making this cheap.
- OSU -- wow, fans are excited after the clinic against WMU.
- And, be prepared to hear broadcasters reference Mike Nugent's game winning FG in 2004.
- What they won't tell you: Tresselball was, well, not great in retrospect.
- Five Big Ticket Items: $67 or greater
- Confusing:
- Rutgers @ VaTech? Why is this pricey?
- BC @ MSU? Surprised BC fans care about this clunker.
- TCUN favored to lose at home :)
- Confusing:
