CBS DETROIT - At a cost of $295 for seven home games, Michigan charges more for student season tickets than any other program in the Big Ten, according to ESPN's Darren Rovell.

No wonder some Michigan students were miffed when Coca-Cola gave away tickets to the Michigan-Minnesota game with purchases of $3 in beverages.

The next most expensive student season ticket offering comes from Ohio State, the most hated rival of the Wolverines. The Buckeyes charge $252 for seven games, $43 less than what the Wolverines demand.

Michigan State's season ticket package for students costs just $175, so Spartans fans pay $25 per game, while Michigan students fork over $42.14 for each Saturday at the Big House.

The Spartans have a record of 5-1 this season; the Wolverines have a record of 3-4, which makes the prices especially galling to some fans.

Teams to which Michigan has lost this season include Minnesota and Rutgers. Minnesota's student ticket package gives fans entry for $12.86 per game, while Rutgers students who buy the season package get in for $14.14 per game.
