Tickets are $5.00
The men's basketball program has the top recruiting class in the American Athletic Conference (didn't know this).

They are going to CHARGE $5 to go to Madness?

Wow.

Interesting. 2 days later is Navy also

Wow.

That was my first thought. It used to be first come, first served, even when they had to turn people away.

I think that's a good thing. People value what they have to pay for.

My first thought was.... who's the entertainment.

Second. who's that?

Third. Why can't we have Yo Gotti?

Fourth. He was better than the one who had Priscilla

Thank you for the notification. Below is the text:

Quote:MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The University of Memphis men's and women's basketball programs will host Memphis Madness on October 12, 2017 at FedExForum.

The event, which will begin at 7 p.m., will feature entertainers iHeartMemphis and Gabrielle Nicole. Doors open at 6 p.m. with the student-athletes from the men's and women's team being available for autographs until the beginning of the event.

The entertaining evening will feature a dunk contest, a three-point shooting team contest, and scrimmage. There will also be performances by the Mighty Sound of the South and the nationally-acclaimed University of Memphis cheer and pom squads.

Tickets, which will be $5, will go on sale Thursday morning, and can be purchased at the Memphis ticket office by calling 901-678-2331, or online at gotigersgotix.com.

The men's basketball program has the top recruiting class in the American Athletic Conference, including two junior college First Team All-Americans in Kareem Brewton and Kyvon Davenport.

The women's basketball team returns two all-conference players in Cheyenne Creighton and Brea Elmore and look forward to the return of Ashia Jones, a UT Martin transfer, who was the nation's fourth leading scorer in the 2014-15 season.

Unfortunately for me since I live in Nashville, it will be held on a Thursday and I will be unlikely to attend it.

The $5 charge is surprising, but a good idea. I think it should be held on campus at the Field House for a more intimate setting than FedEx.

Moneybagg Yo or Dolph. Moneybagg Yo has sold out two shows at Minglewood recently and his last mixtape was #5 on the Billboard Top 200.

And it's a Thursday night. Weird.

Al Green would pack the place. You have to look at the demos of the season ticket holders and realize that Al covers a lot of demos. Plus special appearance by Booker T. Jones. I would make a trip from Dallas to see those two in concert and pay a lot more than $5.

I'd pay $10 if they'd nix the rappers.

I thought they always said it was against NCAA rules to charge an admission to this type of event.

Hell yea! Rev. Al is a freakin LEGEND!

Seems to me....we should be aiming for butts in the seats, along with recruits who believe that we can really deliver.... not old tard butts wanting to see Al Green one more time. lol unless of course they come with huge TSF donations.

$5 bucks is not bad to get a glimpse the new team.

Are they really trying to make money on Memphis Madness? In the long run, they would probably make more if they let people in for free.

It's a bonding experience.
