Here's a head-scratcher for you. Despite playing home games this season against Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Texas A&M this season, Oklahoma State does not expect any sellouts at the smallest stadium in the Big XII. Why?Ticket prices.
Despite getting a $165 million donation from T. Boone Pickens earlier this season, the Cowboys jacked up prices as much as 71% according to the Tulsa World.
Against Texas A&M last weekend, the cheapest ticket available at game time was $175. For this Saturday's game against the Huskers, ticket prices start at $85, with a top price of $525.
You read that right.
$85 for the cheapest ticket for a team that went 4-7 last season (1-7 in the Big XII conference)?
But that's not the worst of it... tickets to the Oklahoma/OSU game start at $100 each.

Good find Mike. That's absolutely ridiculous. You'd think a 200 million dollar gift would cover some costs...but guess not.
Just hope no one at UNO gets any inspiration from this story, unless someone decides to emulate T. Boone...
