More than 100 college coaches are making a new appeal to NCAA President Myles Brand to eliminate alcohol advertising in telecasts of college sports as the NCAA's Division 1 executive committee readies to meet Aug. 7 in Indianapolis. In a letter dated August 4, the coaches said they are "troubled by the prominence of alcohol advertising in televised college sports" and offer a new proposal to phase out the alcohol ads over three years. Currently the NCAA limits alcohol advertising to products that don't exceed alcohol levels of 6%, meaning beer and some wine coolers. It also allows only one minute per hour of any telecast to be devoted to alcohol ads.
Most adult alcoholism problems start in college so it's only normal to ban the ads to alcoholic beverages. Of course, no one died from drinking a beer but that changes when the beer turns to vodka.
