University of Wisconsin student season men’s basketball ticketholders voted down an option to offer split-season plans to accommodate demand in a poll conducted by the university. Also, student football ticketholders voted to exchange their vouchers on game day rather than at midweek prior to a game.
The basketball vote closes the chapter of a contentious debate that emerged last fall after flaws in the lottery system used to award the 2,100 tickets eliminated several hundred students from consideration.
