Our reading

The university has made it impossible to leave early, even if the game is a disaster. Students are forced to sit through the entire match, as if their attendance is a form of punishment rather than a reward.

It’s not just about filling seats—it’s about making sure no one leaves before the final whistle, as if the raffle is a test of loyalty, not a prize.

Students will be waiting for the final quarter, not for a chance at free tuition, but for the chance to finally leave.
