I think it is totally hypocritical of the UI to go into a deal with an alcoholic beverage company. How much is this deal for?
Up front I like to drink beer especially craft and import beers. Over time a lot of alcohol consumption is not good for a person.
The university's main and mostly only goal is education and research. Athletics is supposed to be part of the university and student experience. But there is nothing good about the UI endorsing alcoholic products. All of the medical and scientific research that goes on at the UI, the med school and hospital go against tying alcohol drinking to the UI.
I would like to know how much the deal is for and it would seem the UI could make other deals to make up that money.

Everything is so PC today. Who cares who they make advertising deals with? It's not going to change college drinking. If I'm a college student looking to get drunk, my drinking habits aren't going to change because the school's athletic department has a deal with a brewery. Extra income is extra income.

Look, catching impaired drivers is a good thing of course.....but why should a cop have any right to pull me off the road on which I am traveling to insure that I have everything in order (sobriety, seat belts, insurance, registration, lights etc) when I am doing nothing wrong......
I think we should have "safety checkups" in everyone's home every year to make sure they are not planning anything or doing anything illegal....everyone good with that too?
I don't understand some people's willingness to just give up rights....like "no illegal search and seizure."

I don't believe that it will affect students drinking habits, nor did I ever say it would.
