Your problem appears to be the negative connotation attached to my phrase "money-grab." It is what it is - an unnecessary expansion designed to make more money. You put the positive spin on it, because it doesn't bother you to pay more money and you think that's it's simply good business to take advantage of the devotion of Big Ten fans. Perfectly reasonable position, and I'm not going to talk you down from that.
I take the position that the good-will of alumni such as my self is being taken for granted. And eventually, I would like to think that there are limits to how far we, as fans, are willing to go to view our favorite college sports team.
