UW football ticket price hikes approved; Alvarez speaks on expansion

The most important bit of news to come out of the University of Wisconsin Athletic Board meeting Friday involved a ticket price increase for Badgers football. As expected, the board unanimously approved a $3 hike for general public and student season tickets, pushing the per-game price to $42 and $22, respectively, for seven games at Camp Randall Stadium in 2010. Meanwhile, UW athletic director Barry Alvarez told board members a research firm is working on behalf of the Big Ten Conference and recently put together data on 15 schools that might prove compatible for the league, which is considering adding a 12th member.
