Respectfully, I disagree ever after re-reading the posted article several times.
But my original point still stands in my opinion -- that the fact that only 2,000 tickets were offered is an economic decision only.
Taking into account an 80,000 seat stadium with over 60,000 season tickets and a student body which probably gets less tickets than they probably should at any game, it still comes down to not only filling all of the seats with warm bodies, but also placating the home fans who might not be able to see a game otherwise -- and who will in the future be some of those season ticket holders.
The alums and future alums are perceived as more important than people from an opposing team' school.
I do think the topic of the thread is a bit overblown, though.
