“We’ve had significant increases in ticket prices and donor seating. Everyone that complains about that, I tell them that I feel their pain,” Holder said. “Raising ticket prices is not a very popular thing for an AD to do. If there were an election, you wouldn’t do that.

“But it’s necessary. It’s unrealistic to expect us to achieve at the highest level with our sports programs, in this very competitive conference, if your budget ranks 10th. There’s a reason that the University of Texas wins more conference championships than everyone else.”

Hmmmm....

They also have like 50k undergrad students. It's NOT just ticket prices that drive their success. It's being the flagship univeristy of one of the largest states in the nation. It's having a terrific academic tradition. I promise you, being able to buy Godzillatron didn't help them win women's underwater basketweaving.
