I’m not hell-bent on anything. Just telling you what my experience has been.The designated seats sit such that moving either of them enough to change the location of the zip-tie would move it into the next seat. I'm not sure why you are so hell-bent on defending a policy that is pretty clearly intended to gouge the university's best customers. Check my posting history - I'm not an athletic department/director basher. But I hate policies that are implemented under false pretense. Particularly where they serve no discernable purpose and especially when they squeeze the very people who already actively support your program.
