While watching many college athletic events on television i realized that the conferences on at the time find as many ways to put ads up as they can. These commercials are usually full of beautiful campuses and students succeeding in a number of different fields and can sometimes come off as corny or cheap. Considering the fact that most athletic programs do not gain money for their respective schools, do you think these cheesy advertisments are needed or is it a spot where maybe the schools can save a bit of money to invest in new and more exciting promotions?

I do not believe these schools need to show those advertisements but they could definitely make better commercials showing what they can offer student athletes or other students. Those commercials only really point out the smiling people who have all the friends and the great programs. They could show instead of the big classes and how the NCAA athletes are in those classes as well. That would show the NCAA name and increase the popularity of student athletes.
