Snippet:
The purpose of this letter is to share several decisions we are making to help address the $20M increase in our department's expenditures. Although none of us like price increases, we must make these changes. We have prided ourselves on not asking you for what we can get, but rather asking you for what we need. That philosophy has served our department, and fan base, extremely well throughout the years, and we believe that these changes are no different.

- We are raising the annual Cyclone Club giving levels by 20%, starting with the 2025 drive year. You will receive your renewal notice in February from the Cyclone Club.
- We will begin adding state sales tax on all ticket sales beginning in the Fall 2025 (currently we pay state sale tax out of the ticket price). Adding state sales tax to all ticket sales will allow us to better align financially with those Big 12 institutions that are tax exempt in their respective states, or institutions that are already adding sales tax (K-State) or are in the process of adding sales tax (Iowa).
- We are increasing the price of women's basketball season tickets from $199 to $249 to reflect demand and help fund the costs of sharing revenues with our women's basketball student-athletes.
