LIterally no university wlll do this.
Most universities don’t even give all their students tickets to games, it’s not a bridge too far for schools to say this season alone they’re not selling student tickets due to inability to police those crowds and in exchange not charge an athletics fee.

Yeah, that ain't happening either.
Excluding bands will be the first and easiest thing to eliminate.

Nor would UGA sit still and let this happen on 9/19.
The conference as a whole will agree to waive visiting allotments If it means more opportunity for individual schools to appease their own donors. UGA could be pissy about 9/19 but you’re fooling yourself if you don’t think Bama would prefer to have 25k tickets to give to their 25k top donors for that game. UGA will fee the same for the Auburn game a couple of weeks later.

Not enforceable if 25,000 fans decide not to. No university has the manpower.
It’s absolutely enforceable with a small crowd spread throughout the stadium. Most schools manage bigger crowds at spring games.
To be clear, I hate all of this and I think it’s going to take the shine off the season if this happens (CFB games without students and bands and crowd noise is hardly CFB) but when you have reduced supply, the first people athletic programs are going to take care of are the folks writing the checks. This has nothing to do with what might be right or good and has everything to do with staying afloat fiscally (especially if schools have to issue refunds for season tickets they can’t honor)

Seriously? Have you ever been to a spring game? Because I've been to a few, and I can tell you that there is absolutely ZERO management of the crowd at Alabama. 60,000-90,000 people literally sitting where they want, first come-first serve, with no management whatsoever. How, exactly, do you suggest the university stop thousands of people from moving?

Can’t let them play and exclude bands. Would be a bunch of lawsuits. If you’re going to let those athletes huddle up and tackle eachother, why can’t band members stand next to eachother and play instruments?
