Title is a bit weird, but let me explain. I’m a photographer who lives on a college campus (also a student). I often take portraits of other students for couples photos, graduation, stuff like that. There have been some events at other locations where I took photos of people, sent them the link, and if they wanted to pay for the photo for like $5 they’d receive the digital file. Would this be okay to do on a college campus? Either just between classes or something like that? Like I’d ask if they would like a photo taken, they say yes, I take it and send them the link, but in order to download they need to pay.
For example of what I’m thinking exactly:
ESPN college game day is coming to my campus soon for a game. I was thinking about going on campus when the get there in the morning and getting pics of a bunch of the students and doing exactly this. Is this okay?
Location: Norman, Oklahoma

You should be fine as long as you’re not in a ticketed area. Campus and GameDay are both “public”. I’d definitely steer clear of photos of athletes, broadcast booths, etc. And if anyone from campus or ESPN ask you to stop you should stop.
