For the first time in more than 10 years, broomball will not be an intramural sport at UAF. Starting this semester, the fee for the popular sport more than doubled from $7 to $25 per season. This season of broomball has been canceled because of a student backlash against the fee increase. ...
[Intramurals supervisor William Boe Edwards] heard there was going to be a boycott of the sport, he said. About 25 teams usually play, with seven to eight players on a team, Edwards estimated. That means the hike in fees is keeping almost 200 students off the ice this semester.
Student Services blamed the fee increase on the increased costs of maintaining the ice.
