I completely agree that this is a chitty situation for you and you have every right to be angry, disgruntled etc.

In my time at USF, similar to BullDoug, everything has a set of rules that rarely can anyone get around.  It sounds like the tickets were in the employees name must have been employee tickets?

So if you no longer have that employee, the tickets are forfeited.  Not sure how they do group tickets, but it sounds that the tickets weren't technically for the group but for the employee.

I know I am not allowed to sell my season tickets to someone (and get the name transferred to them).  If i give up my tickets, they are put back in the pool, even if i want them to go to a specific person, the AA would say I can't.  Sounds like the case here.  It sucks, but i am not surprised by this at all.

feel free to correct me if i made any false assumptions... the whole ass out of u and me thing  ;)

Just catching up after the weekend and saw your post Velcrogrip, and wanted to reply.  Yes, you are somewhat correct in that they were in a person's  name not the official board name.  It is just they way they handled things a decade ago and it was a non issue.  Rember, a decade ago we didn't ahve football, Seth Greenberg wasn't here, and things like this were done on a handshake.  Mostly, you could get tickets for an official USF group without paying any kind of donations.  Think about it, why would one 501 C charitable group want to pay donations to another 501 C.   It is kind of silly when you think about it.  

So, the Athletic Dept was aware that she was a USF employee, that she bought the tickets on behalf of the USF group, and in fact the tickets were payed for from a USF named account on a USF check.  I don't think this could have been easily mistaken for a "oh, we didn't realize she was buying them on behalf of......." situation.  They knew, and in fact haven't denied it.  The truth is that no one is willing to step up and get this right.  So our group suffers.  We used these for fine and nobel reasons in the behalf of promoting USF.  Now we cannot.  We suffer, our organization suffers, and in the end USF suffers.   All because of a few people upholding policy.   Doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me....
