NCAA alcohol policies - BleedsHuskieRed - 10-11-2010 11:15 AM I always thought it was against NCAA policy to serve alcohol at on campus venues, however, I'm having a hard time finding that policy, and in fact have found more to contradict that. If it is within the rules to sell alcohol, I think NIU needs to seriously look into this at football games and basketball games. They are missing a major revenue source here. Thoughts? RE: NCAA alcohol policies - niuguy - 10-11-2010 11:17 AM I know Kent did up until half time. I dunno the rules though.

It isn't an NCAA rule, but I do know in some cases individual conferences have their own set of rules regarding that. Obviously, if Kent was selling it, then it is okay to do within MAC guidelines.

First time someone gets hurt, NIU would have a lawsuit on their hands. Considering the fiasco this summer with people complaining about students behavior on the East side, I can't see this going over well.

First time someone gets hurt, NIU would have a lawsuit on their hands. Why would it be any different than selling alcohol at a professional sporting event. I don't see how by simply selling alcohol NIU would open itself up to any lawsuits. RE: NCAA alcohol policies - HuskieFan84 - 10-11-2010 12:23 PM Mainly fact the crowd would be all young people who are more likely to cause troubles than your average pro team crowd. Add to that, I was told by the athletic department, that someone got something thrown at them last year in our crowd and that was what led to the East Side ticket situation. Considering the concern at the time was lawsuits, I'd have to think this would only make it worse. RE: NCAA alcohol policies - Lord Stanley - 10-11-2010 12:37 PM Alcohol would be a huge source of revenue.

One or two d-bags who cant handle their liquor would ruin it for everyone. RE: NCAA alcohol policies - DSniu41 - 10-11-2010 01:14 PM Can't sell liquor on state-owned property without special legislation, it has nothing to do with the NCAA. It's IL law. RE: NCAA alcohol policies - MKE Huskie - 10-11-2010 01:38 PM At the basketball games here at Marquette they sell alcohol. Surprisingly it's not a disaster among the students. Usually my friends and I only get 2-3 beers at the game because the prices are jacked up. A 24 oz draft beer here is like $7.50 or $8. However I think the reason they can sell beer at the Bradley Center is because it's not owned by the university. We share it with the Milwaukee Bucks. I think it would be different at Huskie Stadium because it's owned by the university. RE: NCAA alcohol policies - randyfensfanclub1 - 10-11-2010 02:27 PM Good article explaining things.... http://online.wsj.com/article/SB125271416817105157.html Excerpt.... "Although the National Collegiate Athletic Association bans alcohol sales and signage at the championship events it controls, it doesn't regulate school activities during the regular season. The nation's various athletic conferences also generally pursue a hands-off policy, though some do limit or ban alcohol sales at conference-sponsored tournaments and championship games." I had always thought the stadium had to be off campus. Guess just many that do are. Seems some also like to limit it to "club seats" where they only need to deal with big donors, who if they want a $9 mixed drink or beer, are going to get it. Also if you can't get money from the beer company to advertise at a stadium (that is the NCAA rule)as they do off campus, the beer profit is minimal. They are going to get their share 1st. Then comes other issues/costs such as liability and enforcement issues. Realistically, how many kids will buy beer for friends or use a fake ID? Not like they are going to have 25 extra cops/security on hand to deal with it.

Whether it is from them drinking heavily during tailgating or drinking during the game. I figure NIU might as well make some money off it.

It makes Fight Club look like a knitting class. You're right that it could make money, but I'd never bring my kids out there again. |
