I like this idea to invest in more student tailgate amenities. Apparently, the students agree because the spots are sold out and free student tailgating is still an option. Let’s have perspective. Students barely fund athletics in the same manner of our SBC peers do.
The restrictions the state puts on equal access student support has directly led to this exclusionary option being implemented.
All students eventually get paid back for front porch advertising fees (aka student athletic fees)
Spots are free. I had a conversation with someone who works in athletics and here is what is speculated as to what happened. The email was sent out on August 1st. Most current students aren’t checking school emails on August 1st. They are doing things like summer jobs or vacations. The person I spoke to seems to think a bunch of incoming freshmen saw free tailgating and thought this sounds like fun and signed up for it and didn’t even realize they were reserving a spot for the season. He was led to believe this because all the spots were taking so quickly, which has never happened before. It is usually the same suspects who reserve all the spots the fraternities, Chi Alpha, Ragin Cajun Catholics and a few other campus organizations. So if my contacts speculation is accurate you will have a bunch of spots reserved with no one in them.
I do know for a fact that 2 of what are usually the 2 biggest fraternity tailgate groups do not have a spot because they were all reserved.
I am thinking I may offer them my spot for game 1 and tell them to bring loud music beer pong and anything else the university has shut down over the years. We gonna party like it’s 1989.
