What limits are others using re alcohol sales--number can buy at once, cutoff after 3rd quarter or whenever?

Yup, given the economics and the ability to control this it is time.

Yeah, I wasn't sure if he was factoring that into his $2 number or not. Was just trying to provide a ballpark number of how much revenue could be generated. I would guess actual mileage would vary from program to program.

This Administration doesn't even allow the licensing of the Ohio marks on shot glasses....pretty sure we aren't going to be lifting a glass anytime soon at the Convo or Peden.

(BTW, the shot glass thing is the most ridiculous edict ever issued from Cutler Hall....it's called individual accountability. It's not McDavis's job to police his 18-22 year old students who are more than capable of making adult decisions...complete farce.)

You must be a Browns/Dawson Fan?!!

A couple of things help curtail that. First, alcohol would not be permitted in the student section. Second, is cost. At $5 or $6 for a 20 oz. cup, I'm not sure how many beers students will be buying. So if you see a student trying to buy, you might know something's up.

To Love's point, this is all most likely a moot discussion. But I'm hoping that maybe a "desperate times call for desperate measures" thinking might set in. Might be $200K to $400K less cuts they'd have to make. And you can provide evidence that other institutions are doing/have done it without incident for a long time.

I've been to several college campuses in the past month...and at each of their respective College Bookstore-type establishments..you can certainly buy logoed shot glasses.

This has to be the dumbest ploy of all time.

I'm pretty sure the number of binge drinkers hasn't been affected one iota by the lack of branded shot glasses. All we've done is reduce our merchandise dollars.

Just ridiculous. Ivory Tower - gotta love it.

Also, with the horrendous non-con schedule we are playing the next 5 years...I'm going to have to start drinking during games just to endure it.

The byproduct of putting beer in the Tower on top of the alcohol sales would be additional demand for those seats.

Unfortunately My experience was the same as Swank's. Because I had no idea that credit cards were not accepted except for a few choice locations I endured a 20 minute wait with 10 mins to go in the second. Once I got the new I was in halftime crowd. Waited till 10 mins left in the thrid to head back to one of the 2 lines that accepts cards. After 15 mins in line I headed back to the tailgate and visted with Mrs Gman and Ellis during the 4th qtr

You just have a target on your arse Love....but I find myself agreeing with you more than many self proclaimed moral saints on this board.

However go to an event at Mem Aud, and you can buy alcohol.  Double standard!

Ted, OUPD has for years promoted and lobbied for the selling, as this would allow them to regulate and control.

I'm not targeting Love, just his logic.  He's the one who has decided to take a stand on this significant issue - whether or not the university allows the use of its logo on shot glasses.  It truly is a subject that deserves our attention in these trying times.  And he pointed out that we're depriving ourselves of much-needed revenue. 

Personally, I agree with the university's decision. Seems pretty obvious to me - shot glasses are commonly placed in high-profile positions behind bars as a subtle type of advertising. Why on earth would a school that has a very real image problem related to alcohol want to plaster its logo on a shot glass?  Love's answer: money.  There's no way the financial upside is enough to compensate for the continuation of the pervasive image of OU as a place where people go to drink rather than study.

Not that I take Love's stands too seriously.  His multiple threatened boycotts of this site have lasted at most a matter of days, and his Wofford "walkout" certainly never occurred. He's just looking for attention....just as he was as "3Ball." Hell, maybe he's Billy Milligan; that would explain a lot.

Applications were actually down this year and the freshman class was smaller than the university had wanted.  Wonder if the multitude of Palmerfest stories had an effect on some parents' decision making? Wouldn't be surprised.

I actually wonder if it more has to do with the economy, such that more kids are having to live at home and go to a more local school so as to save on housing money.  I've also noticed that more people are doing the whole 1-2 years of community college route before moving on to a real university.  Actually on Roberts Rd in Hilliard there is a sign that actually promotes a Columbus State and Ohio University layered program.
