students stupidly allow themselves to be exploited.
I think the schools use these lines and camping out to build enthusiasm, sell tickets, and attract publicity (KXYZ-TV reports that "200 Aggie students are sacrificing their grades and daily showers, since they're so anxious to get a Bowl game ticket."), and students stupidly allow themselves to be exploited.
How many hours are wasted in such lines? How many pledges - sentenced to keep a spot in line for the bros - get discouraged and de-pledge?
Why can't our universities just put the tickets on sale when they get them?
If they want to have an orderly line, just pass out numbers, and enforce them.
