Yeah, but I think that one is up to the schools and not prohibited by the SEC.Bernardo de la Paz said:

I think the SEC is the only one that bans alcohol and the other conferences leave it up to the schools.Bernardo de la Paz said:

People would go nuts in that area if they pulled that. This is not the NFL.

How do you explain student attendance being a problem at Alabama?

I will say that Alabama is having issues with student attendance, not student ticket sales. This is a first for us. We haven't had problems selling tickets until this year, the problem has been getting them show up. Alabama is selling out every game regardless if they show up.

" Florida still has about 2,000 student season tickets unsold. Florida's student ticket allotment is 21,500. The Gators have had trouble selling the tickets coming a 4-8 campaign in 2013. The student ticket lottery ran from April 14 to July 24, with winners of the lottery receiving notification of their ticket status on Aug. 1. Florida has continued trying to sell its remaining tickets with various marketing promotions such as the chance to run onto the field with the team in the opener against Idaho, the chance to be an honorary Mr. Two Bits for the second game against Eastern Michigan and a "Rally in the Swamp," on Aug. 24, where students can "join student athletes, meet Albert & Alberta and members of the spirit squads, win prizes, learn Florida traditions" and receive free pizza.
Florida ranked 10th nationally in average attendance in 2013, pulling an average 87,440 fans to its six home games. That attendance total was 98.7 percent of capacity in Ben Hill Griffin Stadium."
We certainly weren't at 99% of capacity of home games last season in reality.

JF: August has arrived, football practice has started and the fall semester will soon be underway.
What he meant: It’s hotter than hell in Gainesville, classes are starting, but there’s a tradition of escape waiting for you.
JF: In less than a month we will kick off the 2014 football season and to those of you who purchased season tickets via the lottery, we thank you for your support of the Gators.
What he meant: Some of you are aware of this thing called “Gator Football.â€
JF: Part of what makes The Swamp one of the greatest game day experiences in the nation is the pride and passion from the East Side of the Stadium and our University of Florida students.
What he meant: Gator football is a game played with an oblong-shaped, pigskin covered ball by the most elite athletes in the country. They are compensated by tuition, books, and housing with most of their nutrition needs thrown in. They risk permanent injury with no assurance of financial recovery for physical loss. They work more than 30 hours/week during the season and aren’t allowed to maintain a part time job. They can’t accept money from the many donors who want them to be happy here are UF. They aren’t necessarily “college-material†as you might define that, but they have tutors, and they really, really need your approval to continue their dream of making big bucks in the NFL. So go out to the East stands, buy shirts, buy tickets, and raise money for the NCAA, and let’s make a few millionaires out of this lot!
JF: For those of you who have not yet purchased your seats, tickets are still available, via Gatorzone.com/students, on a first come first serve basis.
What he meant: Hurry, Hurry, Hurry, Step Right Up.
JF: I hope you will all join us in The Swamp each week as the energy and passion you bring is what makes game day so special. Our football team feeds off of that and needs you there.
What he meant: The alumni are abandoning us like rats on a ship after last season.
JF: I know the coaching staff and the student-athletes will continue to work tirelessly and put it all on the line to represent you – the Gator Nation.
What he meant: It is all on the line this year.
JF: Again, I thank you all for your support. I believe that we have a top university because of the dedication of our students, alumni, faculty and staff, and the pride that comes with being a Gator.
In All Kinds of Weather, We All Stick Together

Such a lame, vetted, approved, non-controversial, boring letter. Ugh.They will not attract students with that b.s. I'm a big college football fan, but I see the writing on the wall, and I don't think we can keep up the current system -- it isn't working for students or athletes. The canary is dead.
