bumping ticket holders.

I can get bumped like anyone else and that is OK with me if it is by someone who has kicked in more $$$.

What I don't like is a suspicion that some seats are going to people not on a basis of how they are kicking in, but who they know. Who you know should get you a good seats at a fireside not at a football game.

Undoubtedly, BYU needs to reward the big $$$ donors, but somehow need to come up with an equitable formula of $$$ and number of years as merely a $$ donor or $ donor.

I don't think a guy that coughs up $25K for the first time in his life should uproot a 10 year, $1K per annum donor.

I'm all about rights for the little guy and beating the man, but this just doesn't bother me at all. Then again entitlement issues are another thing I get opinionated about, maybe that's why I'm fine with it. I know there is always going to be something with more money than me, and I know he's probably going to get better seats.
