Higher Ed’s Super Bowl Dilemma: Go to Game or Pay for Dartmouth?

Emil Photo Again Edited 61b7dabb61239

As I write, the priciest Super Bowl ticket on StubHub was going for $51,755.25.

Bottom right corner, on the goal line, Seattle side. 2 tickets @ $51,755.25, EACH.

That’s a bit more than the $48,108 a year tuition will cost you at Dartmouth this year.

So let’s see: four quarters of championship football vs. four quarters at Ivy League Dartmouth?

And just to make the choice even more difficult, in terms of sheer alcohol consumption (for some, the point of football), there’s really no comparison.

There’s an absolute guarantee you’d consume vast quantities of alcohol during your four quarters at Dartmouth than you would at a single Super Bowl game.

On an ounce per dollar basis, that’s called value!
