Technically those uk student football tickets are not free. Every uk student pays a mandatory $40 a semester athletic fee whether they go to a single athletic event or not. So technically if a student gets a basketball ticket, they're paying $240 for it during the course of a normal academic year, if they don't get a basketball ticket, they've paid for a football ticket via the fee, whether they go to any games or not.
Remember, uk athletics was paying Lew $4 million dollar bonuses, buying out coaches contracts, and dredging up the bottom of the conference in just about every sport except men's basketball . . . all the while hauling in over $2 million a year in mandatory fees from students . . . while running a ticket fraud/money laundering operation, while Lew and the gang handed out favors like candy and misappropriated VIP type tickets to cronies instead of high dollar giving Williams Funds contributors. About a year ago when the student government tried to reallocate all or part of those mandatory athletic fees to save academic programs, Lew send his little piss boy Marichony up the hill to threaten everyone reminding them ku athletics needed that money in order to maintain Title IX status, all the while as I said they were handing out big bonuses and pay raises, and supposedly finishing the year millions of dollars in the black.
