NCAA advertising

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?

Have you noticed these new types of advertising on Facebook? Would you be more likely to react to an advertisement and use a product or go to a place that you know your friends have been to?

I have noticed these new types of advertisments but I don't feel that these ads will effect my surfing of the web. I get upset with all the adveretisements on social media networks already so anything new i don't think will affect me. I take word of mouth into consideration heavily because i trust my friends' opinions but when it is on some web page I tend to not trust it as much. I'm not sure why, I guess i just feel that there is more room for lies then if I am told face to face.

I think internet advertisements annoy us all, is there any new ways to promote on social media with out this annoyance?
