The already do. Look no further than the marvelous graduation rates at some
of these squeakball factories. I almost gagged yesterday when I heard Nolan
Richardson invoking the name of Martin Luther King. Considering that his
Arkansas Razorbacks have a 0% graduation rate for Afro-American players, he
just should have kept his mouth shut.
As far as drinking. There's plenty of time to drink before and after, which
I heartily endorse, without spending $5 for a watered down beer at the
arena. Of course, a couple of my friends adhere to the concept of a
"maintenance beer" (or two) while watching the games. So maybe it isn't a
bad idea after all.
BTW rowdiness is a specious argument to continue the ban. They sell gallons
of beer at the Beanpot and Hockey East tournaments and, despite the passions
these game invoke, I have yet to see a fight.
