Get your credit cards ready!

I knew ticket sales were down this year, but wow.

The athletic department has began an auction for what it calls the Men's Basketball Radio Insider Experience, a.k.a. follow Brian Seltzer and Vince Curran around during the Penn-Columbia game.

The auction was started at $50 for one person, which seems like a lot, I guess they're expecting bids to shoot through the roof into the four-figures.

I'm assuming the action started when I got the first of two emails about this last Thursday. So take a wild guess, how many bids have there been as I write this post? One. Yeah, i was kind of surprised too, must have been a bid from within the athletic department to look good.

Maybe this will be an excuse for Amy Gutmann to show up to a game. I haven't been looking for her, but has the President attended more than two games this year? And before you answer in the comments section, by attended I don't mean leave at halftime. I'd venture to say that Governor Ed Rendell has gone to more Penn games this Ivy season than she has her entire tenure. Even Harvard President Drew Faust made it up for the Crimson game.
