I have not been to a college game for a while but I got to ask

How does one gain entry without a paper ticket?

They did answer your question.  You show an e-ticket on your smart phone.  Looks like this:

but dont you have to print out the ticket hense its paper or do ya show an image from your phone
You show an image from your phone of the ticket with a QR Code. Not sure what happens if the phone battery, or phone itself, suddenly dies, or if CrowdStrike goes down.
I went to one collegiate game last year, FSU @ Pitt. I showed the ticket on my phone that was stored in some type of Wallet app. I bought the ticket online from the Pitt football's website.
If I had to sell it I think the only way to do so would be online.
I am the original poster. My buddy and I are going back to Notre Dame this year. I am getting anxious about what I might have to pay online for a ticket after seeing the online prices in 2018 which were $250 +. We bought paper tickets on the 40-yard line for $75 -- it was the coldest football game I ever went to which is why ticket prices out-front were discounted.

Anything you have online can be printed out.  Hell, you could screen-shot it and print it out. 

That would be an extra step.  E-tickets are fewer steps.  Convenience.  The DEVIL!

Sports tickets, plane tickets, concert tickets - all of it.

You could but some e-tickets have an active component to them, so a screenshot or printout won't work.  It's an anti-duplication/anti-theft/anti-cheating feature.

If it's the kind of ticket I mentioned above, then yes, it only works if you have the ticket on your smartphone.  No phone = you are outta luck.

You admit you know nothing about a subject, you ask a question, we answer it, and then you say "nope, you must be wrong."
