But UA has threatened to reduce access to regular students, which I am against.

Yeah, it's a blanket policy that will inadvertently hit the "loyal" kids visiting mom and dad back home during a cupcake week. They'll lose points and subsequently position. Same with the kid who is sick, hungover,emergency, work/job etc.

For instance, it created a penalty system where points are docked from a student’s Action card if he or she chooses not to use a ticket, which could hinder the ability to purchase postseason tickets.

Students can also lose points if they have a ticket to a football game and don’t use it.

Nope, they just click one button and donate it. No penalty at all. It's easy as pie and takes 5 seconds (and that policy has been around for years and is far from unique to Alabama).

The penalty comes if you say you are using it and then waste it. And with it being as easy as it is to donate them and others wanting to use, it should be.

They can donate or sell their ticket so they won't have to incur the penalty. If the ticket is no longer on your card, you can't get penalized for not using it.
