I'm not sure what prices scalpers are getting for tickets has to do with anything you just said. I'm an alumnus who donates to the school every year. I get one game offered to me - 2 tickets at face value. The school graduates about 5,000 people every quarter, so with that many alums - and a top tier program - what the hell do you expect? Walk-up tickets at $20 a pop?
There are a lot more alums than seats in the stadium, and the team is 26-2 its last 28 games, so scalpers are raising their prices. Apparently, someone is buying them - if they weren't the price would come down.
Ripping the university over the above phenomena may make you feel better, but it makes no sense. The only thing they're guilty of in this regard is graduating too many students, having too small a stadium and winning too many games.
