The auction is being held on eBay now through Friday, Feb. 1. 

The seven items in the auction include:

• Two pairs of field passes for a UT home football game during the 2008 season,
• A walk-through pass for a UT home football game during the 2008 season,
• An opportunity for a young boy between the ages of 8 and 12 to be a UT "ball boy" for a men’s basketball game,
