Men's basketball tickets for the 2010/2011 season will increase $1 per game for all public tickets and 50 cents for faculty, staff and student tickets, the university said in a news release.

Athletic director Gene Smith said Wednesday the increases are needed to offset increases in operating costs and losses caused by a flagging economy.

Smith said the men's basketball program could lose more than $350,000 again this season.
Golf Course membership dues will increase 3 percent, but daily greens fees will remain unchanged.
