UCF, especially as a G5 program, cannot afford to pass up this kind of flow any longer:

West Virginia athletic director Shane Lyons explained to the New York Times that the beer sales led to "approximately $500,000 a year" in revenue.

And just think, if they added craft beer for firm bizzle we might hit $1 million

Great, we're back to the good ol Citrus Bowl days were multiple people will be passed out in the stands. Just smuggle it in like a normal college football fan.

"approximately $500,000 a year" That would be enough to build that O'Leary Statue on Memory Mall!

UCF should just do this...and make some $$. It's only a matter of time.

Just take my money.

I remember the fact that they would not sell beer was one of the reasons I was not completely convinced that I wanted them building BHNS at the time. Bring back beer!

70 to 90k drunks all in one place, what could possibly go wrong.

Additional revenue—$50,000 over the next two years—will be used to fund research in the school's Higher Education Center for Alcohol and Drug Misuse Prevention and Recovery.

Well, there should be plenty of case studies for them now.

Good times and football.

There will be incidents at OSU this year. Just watch. The next OSU v Michigan game at the Horseshoe will be fan bloodbath.

Here's the second most lucrative athletic program (used to be #1) in the nation. Yet even they know that the dramatic decline in college and pro sports attendance over the past decade requires them to upgrade the live experience. It's not so much about alcohol revenue, but instead about competing with the sports bar and man cave experience. Adding Wi-Fi, improving seats, and enlarging scoreboards are part of the same campaign. College bowl and pro teams long ago discovered that you can take in a lot more revenue with fewer in attendance but spending more on tickets and concessions. Disney's known that, too, by closing admission before the park gets too full and now raising the prices 25% during peak seasons.

All in favor for UCF football games to allow beer (and, especially craft beer) sales say Aye....Those oppose...stay in your safe little man cave and drink soda pop...

Probably not because they don't have to binge drink.
