Rep. Tom Osborne (NE03) - Press Release - Rep. Osborne Calls for Full Court Press on NCAA and Universities to End Alcohol Advertising
“The NCAA and its member colleges and universities cannot have it both ways. It is a complete contradiction for colleges and universities to continue to take money from beer companies whose ads glamorize drinking and target a youthful audience, and then devote time, energy, and resources in the fight to discourage the same students from engaging in underage and binge drinking. Too often, college personnel are confronted with alcohol-related consequences—poor academic and disciplinary behavior, security concerns, assault, date rape, and death. These terrible outcomes are not at all glamorous.” Rep. Osborne stated. In November of 2003, Rep.

In response to Rep. Osborne’s latest effort, Dean Smith stated, ... [Read More]
