If that's true, it's BS. They should not honor any requests that were made subsequent to the selection show.The actual deadline was this morning at 9am. Probably a couple of days before you know your fate.
The only exception I would be willing to make for that is, put any requests that came in after the deadline BEHIND all the requests that came in on time. I would rather them accept requests last night and this morning ahead of posting tickets for sale to the general public (which will certainly be scooped up by Tenn/ECU fans), but that's BS if there ends up being people who submitted their request on time who get shut out for tickets by high-ranking Rams Club members who didn't get their requests in on time.
