00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.301
The problem that we had and where that particular issue came from is

2
00:00:05.301 --> 00:00:12.872
that we had students arrested for scalping. The state decided to operate a sting

3
00:00:12.872 --> 00:00:21.064
around ACC tournament tickets and it had not happened-. Well, if it had happened

4
00:00:21.064 --> 00:00:24.743
before it hadn't happened in recent history. So there had been a practice

5
00:00:24.743 --> 00:00:30.719
that had developed among students of selling tickets to other-. I think even

6
00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:36.510
if you just sold to another student it violated the state law. I don't know

7
00:00:36.510 --> 00:00:41.502
that the average student-and I, being from Florida, I know before this came up

8
00:00:41.502 --> 00:00:46.834
I didn't even know there was an anti-scalping statute in North Carolina.

9
00:00:46.834 --> 00:00:54.328
So we had students that got in trouble by virtue of having run afoul of the state law,

10
00:00:54.328 --> 00:01:06.912
so really that policy was entirely motivated by desire from an educational standpoint 
that everybody knew that we had a policy then that fit with the state, 

11
00:01:06.912 --> 00:01:11.939
but then it would get publicized and then hopefully we would not have-.

12
00:01:11.939 --> 00:01:16.177
And I knew one of the guys well [Laughs] that got caught in this thing,

13
00:01:16.177 --> 00:01:24.984
It's a criminal violation, an attorney has to get involved,

14
00:01:24.984 --> 00:01:29.314
and it was a mess for them, and it was something that I think

15
00:01:29.314 --> 00:01:32.174
by most accounts was a totally innocent thing.
