Rice has launched a new ticket initiative that is similar to MoviePass. For $10/month, with the ability to cancel at any time, anyone under 30 years old can get a ticket to every Rice athletics event that month. That's a hell of a deal.

I doubt it would be worthwhile in an area as small as Huntington compared to Houston. Rice, which averages over 2000 fans per game in baseball, would potentially allow a fan to go to two football games and four basketball games for $10 in November or about 14 baseball games in March plus any other sports.

2,000 for baseball, about the same amount for football (regardless of what they officially report), and less for basketball.

Since both schools joined C-USA in 2005, Rice has 10 conference championships in those three sports. Marshall has 2.

Oh, and Rice alums assuredly know the difference between "fewer" and "less."

Hell, WKU has something like 23 team and individual CUSA TITLES since they joined. That’s crazy.

Y.A.G., what is the breakdown of the Owls 10? 1 in Football and 9 in Baseball? Just guessing, without doing your usual research, that Rice's baseball program is, or almost is, their second major revenue sport instead of basketball which probably owns that slot at most schools. Bet their baseball budget and revenue are at or near the top of all CUSA baseball program. Probably quite larger than MU's without a doubt.

Despite the fact that Rice has the same number of CUSA football titles as MU, at least in Huntington we don't have to put a huge tarp/cover over about 80-85% of the seats in the Joan every home game like they do down in Houston!

What does number of championships have to do with attendance and the price charged for admission?

I know the difference between fewer and less, I just don't agree with the prescribed limits on usage. Less, to me, is applicable to both countable and uncountable nouns and is often used in both contexts.
