Unc.... I am going to piss off 1/2 of the population. The reason the do this is because of stupid fucking women buyers. At Clemson, a ticket is $100/game but the IPTAY Seat Fee is $800/year (for 7 games). Idiot people think that the face value is the price. It's NOT the dang price.
Man with trump pic blames women for increase in ticket prices. Dang.
I can barely afford the tickets now anyway. Rent and groceries are so high. Rather watch Uncle Lou stream
FJB
I mean you could learn a higher paying skill but that's not as easy as whining and watching youtube
@@BondokillHere's a better suggestion, you could just keep your dumbass comments to yourself.
This is why Uncle Lou is the best college football show on UA-cam. Speaks about all aspects of college football. Lou 2024
Yea, he really is the best
The guy knows how to strike a nerve every time its around a Bama vs Georgia game but i agree. Fox should give him a segment every week.
The end of this video is CLASSIC UNCLE LOU!!! Love it 😭
I said the same thing 😂😂
LMAO. I’m all in favor of the “no talent” refund.
If the fans stop filling the stadiums they'd change their tune real quick.
The rich boys will never give up their primo seats.
See that’s the problem. Just like with these online sports games the gaming companies know there will always be people out there willing to spend any and everything for their favorite team, so they’ve continuously gotten to be more and more greedy every year with the micro transactions and other season pass bs. It’s the same for real life sports as well. People might bitch and complain about it but in the end they’ll still be the ones forking out the money and supporting these greedy business tactics 🤷🏻♂️
I agree lou we pay enough for the parking passes and tickets alone . They should be ashamed to even have the balls to ask people to pay any extra . Like you said though it will continue to happen until fans refuse to do it .
A lot of wealthy people in Knoxville. The games still get sold out
There isn't enough wealthy people to sell out a stadium, this is effecting 9 to 5 people.
@@chasejackson7248 they'll either go to the game or they won't. Danny White has raised ticket prices every season he's been there and the Vol Nation has still turned up. It's 2024. Everything is more expensive. As long as Tennessee sports are winning, the fans will support them. It's a professional sport now and it helps the players we support. Many of which will not go to the NFL. They have expenses too
Parking passes for my Alma mater are now 80 to $200 a game, for the most distant spots. Insanity.
Parking is free at Tennessee games unless you park beside the stadium
This is part of a broader trend playing out in many areas of the economy. When you pay a bill online, for instance, more and more companies tack on "convenience fees" or "processing fees" for using a credit card instead of mailing a check. They never explain why suddenly, after decades of everyone making online purchases, there's now a need to start feeing us to death for every little thing. They're clearly getting people used to the idea of paying extra "fees" (i.e. private taxes) for everything to cover up basic greed.
As a Bama fan, I can’t stand Tennessee, however I have respect for them being 100% transparent about what they want this money for. Unfortunately, the road that college football is currently on is leading to a huge fiery train crash that will kill the entire sport.
Good
Football wont be a sport in 100 years or it will go down to 7 men on the field or flag.
Tennessee is being transparent on purpose IMO. They want recruits to see this and see Tennessee as the school that has their back.
Can't believe I gave a thumbs up to a bama fan, but you are correct.
@@MidwayQBClub luckily, neither one of us have to make it a habit. Only when necessary lol
All teams will end up raising prices except florida hell they cant give tickets away 😂😂😂
Lol
Their home games have been sold out and the stadium full. Maybe check the facts before looking like an idiot.
@@derklavierspieler7491show me a game where the swamp is sold out and full
@@cane870 All of the games played this year. Find the beginning of the games and you will see the stadium is full, meaning sold out.
😂😂😂😂
Agree whole heartedly with you Lou. Where the fuck does the ticket money go to now? And TV rights on top of that. Shits turning into a racket
I warned people about this money grab years ago when this whole " pay the players on top of their $80K per year full rides" got started years ago. No one listened.
When Vanderbilt needs money they just call a very small group of ultra wealthy alumni. They don’t shame an entire fanbase into giving them money
This is exactly what the government does, I’m afraid. Where does the money go? No one bothers to find out…
They will just LIE.
More like rich people screwing over poorer people. Government budgets can be tracked.
The money gets filtered back to the execs pockets in one way or another.
They need to stop paying the coaches 10 and 12 million dollars a year, none of them are worth it.
Never gonna happen
Preach Lou!! It’s fing ridiculous and leaves so much room for corruption on top of paying these ridiculous coaching contracts.
These tv contracts blowing up tv service prices
This video is an absolute classic. I demand a 15% rebate for some of the games I went to where the vols were absolutely bereft of tallent.
"We want your money, but not your opinions on how the program is going!! We dont care about that."
@@riverdog1643 Tennessee's athletic program has been voted best in the SEC (Men's and Women's) for 3 straight years. Just so you know. Every single sport made the postseason
@@sNorENaDo777 I know this. I'm a Vol fan. Just like the video, I wasn't referring to just Tennessee, it's all programs. Just so you know.
@@riverdog1643 that's fair
Georgia did this two weeks ago, but they weren’t transparent about why they did it
When people say corporate greed isn’t a thing I always ask them to explain hotel resort fees or any one of the hundreds of junk fees corporations have come up with
I will support my vols with just about anything, but this is poor business ethics. Many stadiums are pricing poorer people out and this is another example of that. If they want to add 10% to lower bowl or suite tickets fine, but many diehard Tennessee fans can barely afford the nosebleeds as it is. Shameful honestly.
Well it’s coming to all college schools. At least they are upfront about the fee. Other schools have been just increasing the cost of tickets to get extra revenue for the players.(behind our backs) And also they are 15,000 person waiting list to get season tickets at Knoxville now
After 40+ Years, I no longer have Clemson Tickets. They have held us hostage for 7 home games... 4 games against Wake Forest or worse. Ridiculous.
This might be one of Uncle Lous most important videos about CFB. I wish this would go super viral and get picked up by huge platforms that share CFB content.
Some of us have a hard enough time bying our tickets as it is . This is bs
I usually don’t listen to Uncle Lou, but when I do it’s a good one! GBO!
Greed is consuming and destroying sports these days sadly. Just sit on your couch and watch the game from the comfort of your home. You'll save more than a few bucks and probably have a more pleasant experience.
Not an Arkansas fan, but i saw a local news article about the UofA asking Arkansas households to pay $100 month to be "competitive in the NIL area."
Keep in mind, if it wasnt for the NWA (which is where i live), Arkansas would be the poorest state in America. And asking an already struggling family to pay a $100 a month just to be "competitive" is lunacy.
How about not hiring a coaching staff that completely dookies the bed in the second half and goes for it for no reason?
They aren’t asking you for money. 10,000 families in Arkansas no doubt can and afford this.
The Powerful Uncle Lou spitting facts.
Best thing to do is stay home and watch the games
They know the masses love college football. Sure, they could ask the same 40 boosters for $1,000,000 each, but why not ask a million fans for $40 at the same time.
The players are gonna suffer in the long run. Yes. They'll get paid, but now fans get a bigger sense of entitlement to the players because they're literally paying the players' salary. The days of "leave the players alone. they're just kids" will officially be long gone. And with some of these fan bases, I feel sorry for the players.
It pisses me off as a avid fan I already can’t afford the asinine prices and parking and everything else screw that when I can watch and chill at home without being destroyed financially
I cannot think of anyone that is better than you at this. Honestly the fact no one has nationally syndicated your show is crazy to me.
Pump the brakes, he's nowhere near that good or big
Respect for the acknowledgement of it not only being UT. Every school generally raises prices on tickets every year, but at least Tennessee is honest about where the money is going, allegedly lol.
True, but I think Tennessee is being "honest" to impress recruits. This is a recruiting tactic.
The price of winning "Life Championships" has gone up.
Tennessee fan here and I agree. Where’s all the money going? We had 750 million to use on stadium renovations. Dang!
they finance that shit
Then if you pay for a ticket you get to watch commercials on the jumbotron. It's a money grab pure and simple. You are now a professional sports league. Congratulations!
That last minute of the video is exactly how I feel about this topic. Comin’ from a VOLS fan. Keep doin the hype/hate videos lol. That one you did on Arkansas a couple years ago was perfect dude.
That's a good take Lou!!
UncleLou, When we were Students at UT, We used to always get the BIG ORANGE $CREW, well once we graduated we thought it would stop! But here we go now getting it after we are gone and want to take our family to see a game.
Alabama keeps complaining about needing more money for a new basketball arena when they clearly have enough to get it and it's annoying I dont wanna lose Nat Oats because we can't give him what he needs
With Oates as coach they probably should build a new arena. Fans definitely shouldn't have to pay for it but if Alabama has a top 5 bb team every year that will bring in big bucks for the university and surrounding community.
Yk I was enjoying this video totally agree hate the add on fees but it felt like it was building and then at 10:25 I lost it classic lou rant 😂😂😂
It's already been stated if you don't want to fork over the 10% talent fee at at Tn. they have a waiting list for season tickets. The powers that be know there will be no revolt.
Blackrock. Thats where its going.
They should just create a "Hillbilly Club" and charge everyone $300 a year to join. T shirt and bumper sticker included. Those rubes will fall all over themselves to join.
Virginia, Tenn, now GA has said the schools can pay the players without the Ncaa being able to do anything about it. How long before Alabama and others join in.
If your talking about that lawsuit the NCAA literally picked that fight when they tried wrongfully investigating UT over Nico's recruitment, the NCAA lost its power over NIL because they had no power over it to begin with lol any "rules" that were made were being broken by nearly every major power 4 program.
This is why I watch Uncle Lou.
The last minute of the video is amazing!!!!
GOAT status right here. He is one the damn bullseye! Its like Bill Gates shaking the damn can, asking for some change. Pisses me off!
Money is ruining college football. The game is watered down and I have all but lost interest in sports period.
As a Tennessee fan I agree with you Lou and as for what you said you are right. I went to the Creed concert in Nashville back in late july. I bought my tickets off of live nation the tickets per person was 100 dollars each. Me, my brother, and my dad. in the pit or the GA which was 300, so I said hook me up I went to check out and I spent 300 to 500 dollars extra due to the fees and taxes. So it ended up costing almost 1k to go see Creed. Its already bad enough we as the people of the US have to deal with high taxes, high gas, high grocceries and etc.
Lou is STILL doing the lords work.
These extra fees across the board are killing all of us. The list goes on & on.
Tennessee fans now funding the McDonald's bags lol
It was Chick Fil A bags gawd damnit. Get it right!
When I was a kid, I used to think it was cool to see a letter from the University of Alabama.
My grandpa: “throw it in the trash. I ain’t giving them any money” 😆
Vol fan here. We are missing an opportunity not pursuing a McDonalds sponsorship. We’ve got the pilot logo on the field… why not lean into the Pruitt fiasco and capitalize on it. Put the Golden Arches out there… lol.
The resort fee is spot on. First of all, those are supposed to be amenities that attracts you to the hotel because you can use them. They are supposed to get you in the door, not be an up charge. How many times has a hotel gym been paid for with everybody had to pay the $30 resort fee?
Yessir! Well said Lou. We had the university of kentucky asking for money from the fans before the season even started. Just tickets and parking have gotten to be outrageous. These universities need to use their tons on miney and stop asking for what we normal people have to bust ass for.
Your Thumbnail said it best Shaking a Can Like Homeless People
I agree 100%, to the point I was going to call in last night and talk about it but Lou took the words out of my mouth. The avg ticket cost at neyland is $118 ( this is not secondary ticket prices.) the avg attendance for a tenn game is over 101k, times that by 7 home games. The fans are pay 8.4 million dollars to the non refundable " talent fee ". ridiculous
Yeah I don't care what they call it, it's horseshit. It's about like a trip to Disney or somewhere comparable just to go to a fucking football game. Nosebleeds for the florida game are like $400 right now. It's insane.
Im worried they will start charging us to watch the games on TV. College Football Saturday Ticket $120/m
At that point just pirate it
@@dylanshort1661amen
I completely agree with you Lou. I’m a Vol fan and just think it’s ridiculous. Not the example I was hoping we would make this week. And everything is just about money now SMH.
From a business perspective this makes since because they are being overwhelmed w too many season ticket requests. Also marketing it as a talent fee looks good in recruiting, all the negative media is blowing this out of proportion. UGA just raised their tickets two weeks ago also but no one cared. Having said that, agree with everything you said and it’s stupid af these schools keep asking for money.
Preach, Lou!
These schools are going to have to come up with about 30 million per year each to pay players their revenue sharing cut.
Good thing they make 3x times that.
@@crazyunclelou I know. But they want 10 times.
Remember, that 10% still gets hit with the 10% sales tax, they could've just donated the state sales tax on tickets 🤔
At MCG Lou. Fixing to have a brain tumor cut out Friday. Yall wish me luck, and GO DAWGS!!!❤❤❤
AMEN AMEN AMEN UNCLE LOU!
Used to teach at a small community college in south GA. All the money is going to admin, and a luxury student experience. Absolute BS.
The ticket prices for the Florida game are already outrageous
NY times: "Why is Tennessee doing this?
Athletic departments are trying to prepare to meet the rising costs coming their way, and some athletic directors have issued public warnings that the process may include cutting sports or otherwise trimming department expenses. Meanwhile, the wealthiest programs are searching for more revenue rather than cutting significantly from their budgets, and Tennessee may not be the last such program to try to openly pass the cost along to fans.". AS you start winning more in other sports, you still have to pay those other elite recruits if and when they come, for Baseball, basketball and other sports. Some of the less rich programs will have to cut some other sports out. TN is doing this in short so they can get ahead of it and have the money to pay the talent when revenue sharing starts next year with student athletes. This is a way to get ahead of that and avoid cutting any sports, while staying on NIL deal par with money for this talent. Remember when they said you will have a group of rich programs and than everyone else below as far as size and NIL advantage, well, TN is wants to be one of them. UGA, Bama and many others will follow.
They rather keep THEIR $$ In THEIR pocket & spend OURS. That simple.
I saw that UGA is raising ticket prices next year to 80 dollars no matter who they are playing which they said was still low compared to most SEC schools but still everything is already high enough heck they already charge to park which is ridiculous in itself
There is not a college football UA-camr that I enjoy more than Uncle Lou. Not a one.
DAWG!!! tennessee’s espire NIL group is the #1 in the country but they are still unable to out recruit UGA and bama…. 🙃🤦🏽♂️
Could not argue with any point made in this video
It’s becoming impossible to go to a games if your a fan of a large school even when it’s a nothing game. I watched Tennessee come from behind and beat Florida and I’ve seen us beat UGA in neyland and it sucks that I probably just won’t be able to do that again barring some major promotion or lotto victory lol
If i had to guess where the money is going, its buraucracies and bosses that dont actually do anything
They’re spending it on non-revenue “olympic sports.”
I am going to tell the power company I sent it all to Uncle Lou.
Lou you tell the truth. I know a college student at a group of 5 school with a young football program who pays $500 per semester in student athletic fees. Just crazy.
What school is it
Lou. 125 percent agree with you. It pisses me off to no end on my trash disposal bill that breaks down every stinking cost. The 2 I hate most is the fuel charges for the garbage truck and administration fee for them to email me the fucking bill. Don't tell me how much gas you need for the truck it's gonna be more than they use for the minute they take to maybe pick up the trash and leave it in the street. Just give me a total and let me think you are using it for all your damn expenses.
Tell it!!!! And I'm tired of Kamala popping up every 15 minutes asking for money 😆 🤣 😂 😹 Go Vols!! ❤
Tennessee supposedly has the highest NIL deals also Tennessee needs your money please donate!! 😂😂
Just like when we threw the goal posts in the river they asked for money as a replacement 🙄
When they start screwing the fans, You'll see the fan bases start to drop off. People won't put up with that much crap.
Yes they will because the average person is a complete and total idiot. Try and get them to boycott games, lol. NEVER HAPPEN. People are dopes. Except me. I wouldn't pay more than $10.00 for a ticket to any sports event and the parking better be free.
They have been screwing the fans for year and there has been no revolt. The average person is STUPID. Try and get a nationwide boycott going for everyone to stay home on game day until ticket and parking prices come down. Never happen.
Hell you could get a 25 dollar ticket to a Vanderbilt game a year ago. Now 125 a ticket 😂
Spectacular rant
You took the words right out of my mouth. This is so much b's. I know can't afford a ticket. But we are supposed to pay millionaire athletes more money because the boosters don't want to pony up for this craziness. And you are right, it is across the board. They have 0 respect for the fans, we are nothing but slaves for the system. F em
Tennessee ahead of the curve again. This will be all over the place in a year or two.
Believe it or not, I agree with you.
NFL needs a farm league! No more $ for tax funded public schools.
Tennessee is the trial ballon for this idea. Every school in the country will be doing this next year when it's announced how much money they are bringing in. lol
They needed an excuse to raise ticket prices.
The sad thing is I’ll burn whatever is required to buy a ticket to the Florida vs Tennessee game.
They know that some fans would do anything to see their teams win, especially if they haven't won anything in a while.....Tennessee.
I mean it comeing across the board Tennessee just first to say it out loud they could Easley just blamed it on inflation
I totally agree 💯
The really high ticket prices are on the secondary market anyway. So the school is just getting closer to market value.
As far as money
$20-25+ million a year for coaching staff
Travel expenses
Team cafeteria
Facilities upgrades
Women's sports and men's sports other than basketball
For most universities, football subsidizes ALL sports, and the expenses associated with them. They're being transparent w/ why ticket costs will be going up.
No, the fans subsidize it.
