Several NFL teams have been doing that, most notably Minnesota, for games
involving Green Bay as the Packer fans are notorious for travelling to games
(since they can't get home tickets).

It's the first I've heard of a college doing so, however.

The lesser Big 8/Big XII schools are notorious for doing such things for
Nebraska football games. Usually they just bump the price way up, but
occasionally they'll make you buy a ticket to another game if you want tickets
to the Nebraska game. I think they do similar things for in-state rivalries
like Iowa/Iowa State and so forth.

It's not price gouging if people are willing to pay. There is no reason the
scalpers should get the money instead of the school.
