How is this corruption, you idiot? The tickets are being SOLD. Do you understand the concept of selling? Maybe your mommy gives you everything so you don't understand how things work in a capitalistic society.
LSU depends on the members of the state legislature for..............wait a minute..........it's coming.............FUNDING. SHAZAAAM!
Now if LSU was a pure commercial enterprise and the legislature were good customers that spent a lot of money with that business, wouldn't it make sense to treat them well? Salesmen take good customers to lunch, to dinner, golfing, fishing, etc all of the time. How would this be different? In this case LSU isn't giving the tickets away but selling them at face value.
The lack of understanding by some of you of the real world and how it operates is frightening. Some people are indeed more valuable to LSU than others. I'm sorry if you fall in to the lesser value group, but that's just tough.
I don't know what galaxy you are from but you apparently have no clue as to how things work here on Earth.
Grow the frick up.

Elected officials being given things that nobody else is given is the definition of corruption. If you think these clowns are giving these tickets to lowly "constituents," I have a bridge for sale. These same people spend thousand and thousands in campaign funding for suites in Tiger Stadium.

Nobody is debating that. Giving them something of value to garner favor is the very definition of corruption. I'm sure you could find many Tiger fans who would pay to get first dibs on tickets while not having to wait in line. That gives this monetary value.
Congrats on your cursory understanding of ethics.
