re: [UPDATE] F'ing Nerd State Rep. Wants to Ban Alcohol Licensing by State Universities

I love beer as much as the next guy, and the moral argument doesn't sway my opinion one bit. But it does stand to reason that someone should question LSU's conflict of interest here. One one hand, LSU wants to establish its brand as a top-tier institute of higher learning. It also has a well-documented problem of half of its freshman class partying itself out of school.
LSU runs an omnipresent (and seemingly futile) campaign to warn its students of the ill-effects of alcohol abuse. Putting LSU's brand on a can of cheap beer doesn't advance any cause of the university, aside from the slight increase in revenue. And what does that say about Louisiana? We're willing to fund higher learning as long as we get shitty beer in exchange? Are we willing to sell out our raison d'etre in exchange for marginally lower taxes and overpriced beer?
Enjoy your purple & gold branded beer, Louisiana, because with leadership like Louisiana's, you're going to need a drink.

I fail to see how having it Cedric's way corrects any problems. I also fail to see how such a licensing agreement exacerbates existing problems.
The only issue I see here is the possibility that these licensing agreements are not with the companies donating to Cedric's campaign funds (thanks ProjectP2294). He's doing his bagmen a favor all the while citing morality as the rationale.
