At a men’s basketball game in December 2017, Troy University gave free tickets to the football team’s bowl game in New Orleans to the first 300 students who showed up.
J.D. Phillips was the first one in line.
The game started at 7 p.m., but Phillips said he was outside the arena waiting about 11 a.
