This is a much needed campaign and long overdue, in my opinion. I am for free speech and a free market, but it is a fact that alcohol abuse can kill and often leads to other serious and deadly drug abuse, especially in teens. Beer commercials should be removed from televised college sports advertising. What is your opinion?

Utah colleges pushing for ban on beer commercials
AP- PROVO - College officials in Utah are among those calling for an end to beer commercials during televised NCAA sporting events. Representatives from Brigham Young University, University of Utah, Utah State and Southern Utah have signed letters urging the ban. The effort is called the Campaign for Alcohol-Free Sports TV. So far 60 Division 1 college presidents, 240 athletic directors and 101 football and basketball coaches have signed letters. Advertisements for cigarettes, guns, nightclubs and gambling are already prohibited college sporting events.

it won't happen, NCAA has a huge budget, and need that revenue to keep college sports alive, especially since the year 2000 when inflation crept in and the economy began it's slow and metoric slide down, which has accelerated in the last year, despite what the Govt. claims
I am not Mormon.
However I do agree with you about the beer commercials.
It is a terrible example for young people who enjoy sports.
Unfortunately, it probably will continue because of all the money to be made by the colleges, TV networks and beer companies.
Money to be made by everyone except the students playing. And then if they drink the same beer, they are disciplined by the coaches and colleges. It is ridiculous!
