UMich Athletics Need Their Heads Examined

So I get this email today from UMich Athletics

Three things:
  1. I didn't ask to be a "Michigan M-Mail" subscriber, so I don't know why I am.
  2. $70 for one game? Seriously? Professional sports cost less than that!
  3. It doesn't say anywhere in the email which friggin' sport this is for. Genius.
