The students at FIU games get free food and the first thousand got a free tablet. Insanity.
Looks like it's for students who attend all seven home games. I'd still call it insanity except that (A) that's sure to attract a cash drop video in response, and (B) the real insanity is that, from what I read, FIU charges $10 for student tickets. If they want to help student attendance issues, why are they not letting them in "free" (in quotes because I assume there are student fees supporting the team anyway)?

Is that $10 for all season or per game? For the season it's 100% reasonable, specifically if athletic fees are low. If that's per game, I don't know how a school struggling that bad attendance wise could justify that. I mean, I'd still probably do it, grab all the free food I want, then sell the tablet to make my money back, but still.

I took it to be $10 per game. There is the free food thing, which helps make it more reasonable...but come on, FIU. It must be extremely frustrating for the students who would love to convince others to go with them...BUT it's gonna cost $10... (EDIT: And I'm fully aware that $10 is a great price for a CFB ticket, especially one with free food along with it. I'm writing as someone who's been in the situation many times where getting another student - who doesn't care much about CFB but is paying to support it - to come hang out at the game probably wouldn't have happened if one of us had to pay for it.)
