    You are correct. The NCAA disallows alcohol to be sold in facilities located on a campus.
    The Thomas & Mack Center isn't on UNLV's campus?

        The NCAA is a sports organization. It doesn't control campus alcohol policy. It is persuasive as it pertains to alcohol sales at sporting events, but even then, i don't think there is a total ban.

        Check out this link to the USA today from a few years ago. There are still lots of schools that sell alcohol.

            I guess I'm wrong.

                And I'm not convinced lowering the drinking age will result in college kids not trying to give themselves alcohol poisoning every weekend. College is for rebellion and fun, and partying hard is the way to do that, legal or not, IMO.
                It is akin to trying to prevent teen pregnancy by discussing sex, birth control, etc. vs. not doing anything.

                    I am against lowering the age. At least now if a BYU football player gets in trouble for drinking and he is 18,19 or 20, I can feel he is in trouble because he broke the law not the honor code.

                        I think this is a pretty good analogy. Do you think that we would see a cooresponding drop in binge drinking as more take classes, just as you saw a drop in teen pregnancy as people became more educated about the subject? Also, there really isn't any shame attached to teen drinking as there is to an unwed pregnancy, do you think this would make it less likely to see the cooresponding drop?

                            I realize this is ancedotal at best, but...

                            When I was in the Army the legal drinking age on Federal Installations (FT Campbell) was 18. I had more trouble with the 5 18-21 yr olds and in my platoon then with the other 18 people combined.

                            This just probably faulty memory, but it seems at least once a month, I or my Plt Sgt had to go get one of them from the local MP station. Luckily (?) it mostly public intoxication and not drunk driving, but it still did not look good on their record.
