Hmmmm.  What about the $10(student price) first round playoff ticket that
all season ticket holders had to buy?  I haven't heard that we are getting a
refund, so who's getting all that money?  I'm not sure how many people hold
season tickets for the Badger games(anybody know?).  I'm guessing that most
people who go to the games do.  Lets say 8000 seats at a minimum 10 bucks a
ticket, thats 80,000 dollars.  That would be 80,000 for each night(we could
only buy Friday or Saturday tickets).  So they way I figure it(please please
please correct this if I'm wrong) they have about $160,000 of season ticket
holder money already.  If they don't give a refund, then somebody is getting
rich.
