Not sure what the big deal is.

Everyone has been complaining about this for years. Not just Saban, not just the players, but everyone - especially the students who don't get the tickets/fans. Depending on who you ask, they'll blame a number of things. Bad games are cited, however it doesn't hold up to just those games. Alabama has been taking in a lot of out of state students is another etc. Usually whatever grip they have = the reason why.

Other students especially bitch about the way it was because the tickets were given out based on other things. Frats/Sorority types get first dibs, higher classman etc. And many of them would take it for granted, not show up at all to games even though they had an entire section for them, leave early, etc.

But these are tickets that are cheaper(although they increased the cost a little), good seats and most importantly - they are limited. So they are plenty of students who want to go to the games and would stay the entire game, but they are assed out on tickets because other students have priority. And if the students can't fill it, they'll make the student section smaller and fill it with fans - probably not going to be an issue.

So basically, when all those entitled greek bitches pull their shit, they are going to lose their tickets and they'll go to someone who doesn't take it for granted.

Doesn't affect me in the least, but I've been hearing the complaints for years, especially about the greeks. From what I can tell, this is a pretty good idea so long as they can actually track it.

But I guess if people want to pretend like it's a matter of no students want to go to games and such and then make up their own narratives nothing is going to stop it. Truth is, it just changes the priority which tickets are given out.

Hmph! FSU is now offering a cash incentive if the students will just come to the games.

This isn't surprising since they started giving out Handicap parking stickers to special ed kids they don't have enough parking places at Bryant Denny. They have to cut the herd.

It's a good start, but they are not going far enough. They should also penalize fans who don't cheer loud enough, or have some non-football related conversation with their neighbors, or don't dump enough beer on opposing fans' heads, etc.

There should be a t-bagging quota too.

Amirite @bamabear82 ?

Everytime Turkey sees a thread trying to make fun of Alabama.

I actually think this is genius and the way it should be. Hope we adopt something similar.
