Well, what you could do is offer students first crack at them. Have them be included in the season ticket package, but they must be claimed by students by a certain point before the game. Then they open up to others.

IMO the best option would be to keep Cyclone Alley reserved for students and sell the upper deck seats. First come first serve for the students for the Cyclone Alley seats.
No big Monday games. ESPN must not be expecting much out of us.
Lots of Tuesday games....fine with me. Breaks up the work week a bit.

I would assume there would be NFL playoff games on that Saturday and Sunday.
Probably not on ESPN but why would they put a more marquee game on the afternoon to compete against the NFL postseason?
Last year for the Texas game (Christmas break) they gave students the option to buy a ticket for either 5 or 10 dollars which I did. I know one of my friends bought one for himself and then brought his dad, but buying additional tickets as a student was something like 20 or 25 dollars instead of 10.
Michigan-Michigan State and Minnesota-Purdue are playing that day as well, but those are the only Big 10 games going on.I would assume Michigan-Michigan State would be a primetime matchup. Minnesota-Purdue also seems like it would be a later game. Just seems weird for a Saturday afternoon in January to put the Big 12 conference on early in the day unless there is something better going on that night. You are right though that the NFL playoffs would start at that time, so I'm sure that is part of it. Looks like there are some NBA games too.

Lots of 6 PM games, too. That'll lead to late arriving crowds, and it's a time that presents a real trouble for our little family.
I'll make Kansas at 6. That's probably the only one.

The students don't show up for the most part anyway. Even if they claim them, they likely wouldn't come back for the game.
The little kids and the families really aren't that bad. They are loud and pretty enthusiastic.
Last year's game at TCU was on FS Southwest. So maybe it's a make-good for ISU's Tier 3 this year.

So, 9 games on ESPNU, 1 game on ESPNNews, 7 games on ESPN or ESPN2 and one game on Cyclone.TV. Looks like I have to switch my channel stream to get the U and News channels.
I've been looking. In the past single game tickets through Mizzou tickets should be in early October. Season ticket holders should get theirs early October also, making Stubhub tickets more affordable. Right now only the donors have their tickets and resale and are charging an arm and a leg.
hmm idk what other games are going on, but I'm surprised it isn't on a better channel. I guess CFB is still going on but still. I thought we would be a bit of a showcase for the college basketball scene.
