This is what I think they will use:
"Demery because the seats directly behind the Virginia bench usually belong to athletic department staffers. In this case one of those staffers gave their tickets to to a friend who then sold one to a scalper, enabling Demery to purchase it for $100."

The way I read this, is that these tickets usually aren't available to the pupblic. So they could say he didn't purchase it legally.
I still think it's messed up though. I bet that "staffers" friend don't get those tickets any more...lol.
