My guess is a nominal amount as Cal did not wantbto giveaway tickets. There was no advance notice so not sure how many were claimed.
there were social media posts about this before the game
regardless of how much Fox paid for the tix, it was a nice thing to do
I am skeptical of whether he bought the tickets or was essentially gifted the tickets in order to create a narrative.
It was the official calbears.com website which announced this. If they say Fox purchased the tickets, why not believe that? Would you accuse them (Cal) of lying? For what purpose would they create a false narrative? And if you feel this way, why do you follow an athletic program which you feel is not trustworthy?
I am absolutely not accusing anyone of lying. If they say he bought the tickets then he did.
However, what I am questioning is if he paid face value for said tickets. Probably not. I wouldn't expect him to either.
Therefore, how much of this was his generosity and how much was a publicity stunt?
I have nothing against publicity stunts, but I'd like to know the truth here, because it is much more impressive if he dug deep to do this.
