Read every bit of it. The first point made by the author was the cell phone business and one girl said she does not go because she can't upload twitter or Instagram. That's ridiculous.
Of course you are entitled if you expect a school to save you a seat for big games but can't be troubled to go to all the games. If the school is having trouble drawing students they should reduce the student tickets levels and try to sell them. If they can't do that then sell them to fans at a reduced price to fans that have been priced out of the stadium. Or do Tate them to charitable groups.
Georgia allots 18,000 student tickets and can't get more then 16,000. I would rather see those 2,000 tickets go to lower economic people who never get to take their kids to a college football game. When I was a kid I decided I wanted to go to college and lsu based off my first experience in Tiger stadium, and it drove me in my education. Maybe the school would be better served reaching out to the future students then the ones that are there and won't go.

Unfortunately, this is a business, not a charity.

I agree that's ridiculous, but that's the way current college aged girls think. They are over stimulated and thus easily bored. Do you want to see more college girls at the games making a lot of noise? Give them access to Instagram and margaritas.
