Hooray! The Big Ten and the Pac-12 finally joined modern college football and added a conference championship game this season.
In the Big Ten, Wisconsin looks for revenge against a Michigan State for a hail-mary win in October.
In the Pac 12, Oregon looks to go th their 3rd straight BCS game by beating a 6-6 UCLA team that is facing the ultimate feast or famine: Win=Rose Bowl, Loss=Bowl Ineligible.
So, what does it all mean . . . well, if you look at the ticket prices of those two games, compared to SEC and ACC, you will see that NO ONE CARES! You could literally attend the Big Ten title game for less than the ticket to see a movie in NYC. Below are pictures of the current ticket prices of the 4 major conference championship games, plus the price of the MAC game, in addition to the prices of some fascinating shows in town the same days as these cant't miss games.
