Also, how often do saban players even go to a tennis match, or volleyball game etc etc?

So, students are going to be penalized for just leaving early, when his own players dont even show up at the other athlete events? Its great

They aren't getting penalized - they're just not getting rewarded the opportunity to get more football tickets.

So, would be like if Saban's players didn't go to volleyball games and then were way down the list for NCAA Volleyball match tickets. Rationally, if they didn't go to regular season matches they probably don't care much about Volleyball. Would make sense they shouldn't have first shot at "important game" tickets over the kids who did go to regular season stuff.

Seems pretty reasonable to me. People who go to a sport the most get first right of refusal on big game tickets. Much more reasonable than "all seniors get SECCG/Bowl tickets" like when I was there, and then proceeded to sell them. They aren't blacklisting the kids who aren't there, they are rewarding the kids who are.

You can choose to hang out at the stadium with your buds in a blowout, swipe your card and maybe get SECCG tickets, or you can leave and go to Galletes and not have as good a shot. It's literally your choice. You still have the exact same tickets you always had, you just have a new incentive to get something extra.

Bowl/Conference Title tickets based on attendance is 100000% better than based on "University Credit Hours".
