It sounds like he took a bunch of friends to see the games and paid for all of their food and drinks with his expense account. The article linked says the expense account can be used as, "an allowance of funds not otherwise appropriated and used for official receptions on behalf of the state, the operation of an official residence, for other expenses." This would certainly qualify as other.
So unless he actually broke some rules by buying friends or whoever food and drinks at games it sounds like the republicans are paying the money back in order to keep this from being an issue if Christie decides to run for president.
