Well they vote for it, then it's all good in my book. (I only object to institutional transfers and imposed fees without representation; students fees are a legitimate way to fund athletics, when democratically decided upon.) 15% turn out is what it is. Those who don;t vote cede their decision powers to those who do -- that is how American representative government works; you cannot compel people to vote, as a non-vote is a political statement you are allowed to make (just that people tend to ignore the message or pretend its not a statement).

This makes Texas more of a Western State and less of an Eastern one in such practice.
