Move over Subway, IU Athletics has an offer that will rival cheap foot-long sandwiches.

In an effort to reach out to students and boost ticket sales, IU Athletics will sell student tickets to Saturday's Penn State game (6 p.m.) for the discounted price of $5. Students can purchase tickets by going to the Assembly Hall ticket office on Friday or Saturday (bring your student ID).

Here is Crean's pitch:

The weather will be warmer, the tip-off time is perfect, we'll have a national TV audience tuned in, and we're willing to help fight the post-holiday recession...to show our appreciation for your patience and support during last semester and to kick off 2009 the right way, we are offering $5 student tickets for this game. While supplies last, you can purchase tickets for yourself, family, and friends - just visit the Ticket Office in Assembly Hall on Friday or Saturday. Make sure you bring your IU student ID as this Student Appreciation Night is only offered to you - the best student supporters in the nation!
