I believe he is saying that since the students were not using their previous allotment of tickets and with what they are left with after this change, their "access" to tickets should fit the supply they were currently using. Too make up for any shortfall in a particular game, they get priority to SRO Tickets.

My argument is that it’s roughly correct to put that whole number up against the value of the football seats, because unlike football where ticket demand exceeds supply, the opportunity cost for the athletic department in providing tickets to students for all other events is zero or right next to it.

We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie
Are the student fees actually reducing by $100,000? Or are the students just paying the athletic department less money and that $100,000 will be available to distribute other places on campus (which isn't a bad thing)? Either way, your point about being a drop in the bucket is accurate, no one is going to notice $6-7/year when they are paying their tuition but I guess they feel they got something out of it.
can you imaging the outrage if the big bad Bison were the tops in student funding in the Summit and Mo Valley as opposed to dead last? Goodness.
Everyone just relax, all right? Believe me, if there's one thing Ron Burgundy knows, it's women.
The piece that Kolpack posted the other day talking about student fees/etc....That will never get posted about UND by itself. If they post those numbers I can 100% guarantee that NDSU's numbers will be posted (most likely in an incorrect way to reflect poorly on NDSU).
So frustrating seeing the BS that gets spewed out from the reporters about that school up North.
Also, depending upon how you want to look at it, I'd say we are first for the way student subsidies and funding is allocated. The lower the better in my mind.
Is the student funding at UND about the same as NDSU?
The numbers are all here: http://sports.usatoday.com/ncaa/finances/
In the 2016-2017 academic year student fees at NDSU accounted for $1,419,057 in revenue for the athletic department. At UND it was $3,341,123 so more than double (and with a smaller undergrad enrollment).
Also of note JMU's athletic revenue from student fees was $36,279,395 for the same year (and no that number is not a typo).
