Because you cant find it doesn't make it fact
I have a family member who was a cop.He said the private security details was the best part of the job.More pay for easier work.The University may not be paying but the cops weren't working for free.I don't know if working University details was private detail pay or overtime pay but I doubt the cops doing the easier work for more pay are happy about this.

Lets take a look
During the Tide's 2009 national championship season, TPD spent $430,396.20 for 11,035.8 hours of overtime to work seven games, according to documents.
So the Minnesota cops are losing hundreds of thousands of dollars in easy overtime pay.You think that makes them gleeful?
And yet at Alabama and Penn State and many other universities the local tax payers are bearing the expense, not the university
The cops are not losing out on the pay -- it is not being paid by the university.
