I don't see the problem here. $44 for four tickets, averaging $11 a ticket is incredibly cheap. St. Cloud does NOT play Minnesota at home this year, but if sold, an individual ticket would be at least $35. Tickets to Wisc, and UND are $25, to see UMD costs $20, and single tickets to the rest are $15.
If the AD is having trouble selling Princeton, UMass and RPI tickets, just lower their price (even below $11) and raise the price of the Cornell game to $35 (or whatever level it takes for the Big Red to stay home).
