More Beer Sales
The NCAA has rules banning alcohol sales and advertising at its 88 championships. Furthermore, host sites must cover up alcohol related advertising. However, football fans at 20 major college venues will now be able to buy alcohol during regular season games. This number is twice as many schools as there were serving alcohol ten years ago. West Virginia is hoping to generate $1 million in profits from selling alcohol. For financially strapped athletic departments this could be a big financial windfall. Schools that currently allow alcohol sales include: Bowling Green, Cincinnati, Colorado State, Connecticut, Hawaii, Houston, Kent State, Louisiana-Lafayette, Louisville, Memphis, Miami, Nevada, Rice, San Diego State, South Florida, Syracuse, Temple, Tulane, UNLV, and West Virginia.
