Officially, 301,031 fans have attended the six football games the Kansas State University Wildcats have played, and won, this season at their home facility, Bill Snyder Family Stadium.

The person in charge of the sales of those tickets — and tickets to the four other sports from which KSU derives revenue — is Scott Garrett. A 1998 graduate of Minooka Community High School, Garrett has served as the school's Associate A.D./Ticketing & Fan Strategies since June of 2010.

Less than a decade after taking an internship with compensation that failed to cover the cost of his commute, Garrett oversees marketing, ticket sales, trademark licensing and concessions in a major NCAA Division I athletic department. He continues to work toward his career goal, as stated on his LinkedIn page: "I hope to one day earn an opportunity to direct a Division I athletics program."
