Michigan State University is facing backlash after revealing it handed out over 100 football and basketball tickets to state lawmakers and officials — many for high-profile games where resale prices far exceed the $79 gift limit. While the university claims these are within policy, critics argue the practice amounts to a subtle form of influence peddling, especially since legislators control state funding.
