And are you aware that each ticket has a small fee to go for maintenance of the athletic department facilities?  Or another small fee to go pay against the bond for the facility?  

It seems to me that the AD is much better at money management than those over on the other side of the river, even though (or maybe because) there are so many more 'administrators' over there.

I don't think it is 'abuse' if I get to spend my money on what I want and you spend yours on what you want.  I see it as 'abuse' when I have to spend my money on your goals, dreams, aspirations and wants.
