Baylor's ticket sales plunge following sexual assault scandal
Ticket prices for Baylor football games have taken a nose dive as a result of the sexual assault scandal that has plagued the school.
Baylor had a median price that was $110.83 in May before the school released its findings on the sexual assault investigation.
Since then, ticket prices have dropped a whopping 62 percent on the secondary market. Prices now sit at $42 - the second-lowest ticket prices in the Big 12, only an average of $13 higher than Kansas, according to CBS Sports' Jon Solomon, with data from TicketCity. Sale prices from three different secondary market sources are tracked by TicketCity.
Subsequently, Art Briles was fired, and a number of players and recruits left the program, which created a lot of negative attention for the school.
The secondary market decline may also partly be because Oklahoma and Texas aren't on the home game schedule this season like they were in 2015.
The issues surrounding the university and its football program have now affected the school's revenue stream, and it may take some time to rebuild.
