🏈 Yes, another Texas thread. This is just F'ed up. TX charging TTU band members admission to game.

[TerryP]

The University of Texas will charge the Texas Tech marching band, known as the Goin’ Band, for the price of admission when the Red Raiders visit the Longhorns on Nov. 26, reports Aaron Dickens of RedRaiderSports.com.

The Texas Tech band will have to pay $100 per member. This game marks the first time that the Texas athletic department has charged the Goin’ Band.

Though the annual game between Texas and Texas Tech has never included a fee to put a band in the rival stands, the practice is not completely unheard of. The Red Raider band has been charged up to $60 per member for game attendance in the past, Dickens reports.

The rivalry between the Longhorns and Red Raiders has been historically lopsided towards the school from Austin. Even with Texas slumping in recent years, Texas Tech has managed only two wins since 1999.

Last season, the Longhorns took down the Red Raiders 34–13, bringing their all-time head-to-head record to 49–15

The article says it's not unheard of, but I've never heard of it.

That's stupid and greedy.

It seems that Texas Tech does this also.

Tech has charged other schools in the past for bringing their bands to Lubbock, including the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State, and was charged for seats at those schools when playing there, he said.

They are still arrogant even though they don't have much to be arrogant about.

Saban to Texas.

...has not had to pay for the Goin’ Band’s seats at the UT game in the past, but that was part of what he called a “gentleman’s agreement” between the four Texas schools in the Big 12.

Think about all the empty seats they are going to have at the game this year...

LOL, Texas is run by a bunch of idiots. They continue to hit the implode button on the Big XII.

Where is our UT insider to deny this when you need him.

 

[OldPlayer]

I don't think any school gives free tickets to anybody. If a visiting team wants to give some of their tickets to the band, that's their business.

Like Texass needs the money!!
