OSU giving away free student tickets to Bedlam

I plan on going, Free tickets for okla basketball coaches, but Ill be rooting for the GOOD GUYS!
 
It is sad to see both OU and OSU having to give away tickets for this game. These are two borderline top 25 teams. I think OSU is ranked right now and OU will probably finish the season ranked (assuming they go 6-2 down the stretch).

What free tickets are we giving away?

It really is sad.

As someone who attended OSU in the mid/late 1990s, it's both baffling and sad to see the lack of student enthusiasm about basketball.

When I was in school, to even GET basketball tickets, you had to:

(A) Buy the All-Sports Ticket that included a ticket to everything except for men's basketball

(B) Get picked in a student-wide lottery

(C) Then buy the tickets, but you still only got tickets for half of the games. They had lottery winners for two different "packages" -- you got half of the non-con games and half of the conference games, with OU and KU generally headlining the two different "packages." (This was in the Big 8 days.)

I was lucky in that I got picked in the lottery all four years I was there. I had friends who never got picked. You could, of course, still get tickets in the secondary market, but it was almost totally impossible to find tickets to the "big" games like OU and KU.

There are LOTS of programs across the country having reduced attendance at games. I don't know the reason but it's not just OU or osu. MIZ...ZOU had a lot of empty seats showing during their game against Ole Miss the other day. I'm sure, like OU, they were sold tickets but didn't show up but that didn't use to happen in the past. There are a few exceptions but very few!

TV is one thing. The games are almost always on TV now so you can not show up and still watch the game.
