I gave the tickets away, 'cause I'd rather watch it at home. And yes, the Universities should send an invoice to officials who want tickets.

The ethics law is greatly in need of serious reform, with some real enforcement power given to the ethics commission. I suspect Alvin's public disclosure of his alleged slight by Auburn University is part of a much broader political strategy.
