So what is the verdict? Can you get a press pass and still buy a ticket to satisfy the higher up bean counters?
A press pass isn't for sale. If he purchases a ticket, how can he effectively do his job?

Yes but buying a ticket doesn't preclude one from also obtaining a press pass.

Do your sports editor one better. Have the SID call the publisher to negotiate what fee your paper will need to pay to cover the games. Now, it probably won't be as expensive as, say, a television network because you aren't covering the game live (unless you tweet or blog.) But, they are, none the less providing a product with which to fill your paper.

If they're going to be silly, carry it to its logical extreme.

That's perfect...lol. Either the higher ups see just how silly this demand is, or they don't pay a fee and you no longer have to worry about the college games taking up your time

If I covered someone other than a scrub FBS, I'd have the paper buy me season tickets, file for press credentials via back channels, and scalp the tickets. Win-win.
