Maybe they sold beer so Milwaukee's students would actually show up? Take that, Milwaukee boards. I'm just kidding, kinda, but also giving their ridiculous posters fuel for the fire haha.
And if someone is a virgin, doesn't smoke, doesn't do drugs, abides by BYU's honor code, but drinks beer, are they still not prude?

If the BYU student was drinking alcohol, he/she would have found his or her self in bigger trouble. Regardless of fact, their honor code is more about personal life responsibility, not just responsibility to your own grades (like VU's reads), and breaking any part of it is basically your one-way ticket back home in shame of what was done. Maybe the BYU basketball player was given a little remorse from the school because he self-reported his error in judgement, but he still has to face the same punishments as a student who is just going to BYU to be a businessman, chemist, teacher, or Mormon church leader.

I stand by my decision to not drink a beer because I was in a very visible spot (literally first row sitting under the basket) and I was yelling at the refs (like everyone else). If I was tucked away in the 300's level, that would be a different story. Like I said, I didn't want to get seen on TV with a beer and Valpo shirt yelling at a ref or something like that. I don't need a beer to enjoy a game. You should be commended for your decision, a3uge. You are wise beyond your years. Picture the ESPN camera crew on Tuesday night going over to the Milwaukee student section during timeouts and encouraging the students to act wild and crazy, and several students hold up beer cups. I can just imagine the reaction from the NCAA.

Good question, I wonder if BYU's honor code differentiates between drugs and alcohol. I'd assume they would probably be lumped together but I don't know the code. I'd respect the person's decisions on all of the above regardless and not consider it prudish at all.

The BYU students problem wasn't alcohol.....and I don't like the idea of beer being sold at college games anywhere....big mistake.....

The NCAA only regulates beer cannot be sold in on-campus arenas or sports facilities. That is not true. The Nutter Center is on Wright State's campus and we sell alcohol at all sporting events.

Bigd - I really don't know the rule, but maybe valporun meant "university owned and operated" arenas and sports facilities - or IS the Nutter Center owned and operated by WSU?

I usually enjoy a beer or two when I'm at an MLB game. The slower pace may be a part of that experience - but I suspect I'd enjoy a beer at a college basketball game as well (if I had somewhere to put it?). I'm pretty sure I can do that responsibly. I suppose I'd like to see some examples of college games with alcohol before deciding categorically whether I want _others_ to be able to drink Or whether, for example, I'd like beer to be sold at Valpo games. If alcohol at games was going to be a big problem, perhaps we'd already have hints of it from people getting warmed up at Greek events or off-campus venues before the game?

I, too like a cold beer, but I don't think they should be selling them at College events. It sends the wrong message, and you would, no doubt, have under aged drinking taking place. How do you tell a student it's OK to drink beer at a college athletic event, but don't think about having a drinking party in your frat house afterwards. And where to you draw the line? Do you start selling beer at tennis matches, and cross country events? Why would it be alright at a basketball event, and not in the stands at a football game? I think, if you want to have a drink, and watch a college sporting event, hit the bar scene like everyone else. Alchohol, and an arena full of barely legal, very passionate, college fans, in a closely contested rival game, is a recipe for disaster.
