Iowa Signs Marketing Deal With Anheuser-Busch

Link

Under the agreement approved this month by the university's athletic department, the Tigerhawk may now appear alongside Anheuser-Busch beer logos, such as Budweiser, Busch, Michelob and Natural Light, on retail displays and promotional giveaways.

Iowa is putting all the money into their booze awareness fund. Which of course lets them claim somewhat of a moral high ground on this and of course free up the money from the general fund that was previously supporting booze awareness. I'm not a big fan of this move and hopefully we don't follow suit.

 This makes totals sense. That’s where all the grain to make the beer comes from, good ole’ Iowa farms.

Can you buy beer at some college athletic venues, or is it against NCAA rules?  I seem to remember that in some places you can, but I don't remember any specific instances.

2004 was the last season when beer was sold in the Coliseum.  It was a bit of a clusterfuck when they did it (crazy lines, easy to bribe workers to ignore the 2 per person limit, etc.) but it was still a lot calmer than the following season when I remember seeing a lot more passing out and puking in the aisles by students who had overcompensated to make up for the lack of in-stadium booze.

The Carrier Dome in Syracuse is on-campus and sells beer throughout.

And it's $5 for a Blue or Blue Light.

I've been to WVU's stadium, and I don't remember beer being sold there, but that means nothing.  I went to the Syracuse-Michigan game back in '99 in Syracuse, and they sold beer there, but I think the Carrier Dome is technically off campus.
