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.


Unfortunately, this is a business, not a charity.

It's actually an arm of a publicly funded state university.

A business that isn't maximizing its profit if the students aren't showing up and buying stuff. Sell those tickets for 10 to 20 bucks a pop and even a poor person will probably buy a coke and some concession items so the school makes profit.


Also if it truly was a pure business, every school would have been selling beer a long time ago because that makes business sense.
