Trib: Some UI/BSU boozers more equal

In a weekend editorial, Marty Trillhaase of the Lewiston Tribune comments:

The Idaho State Board of Education says alcohol and college football is a toxic mixture. So by all means, then, remove the threat. Ban the booze. The well-being of students, faculty and guests on campus must come first. Funny thing, though. The state board imposed Prohibition for some — but not for all. And the key variant? You guessed it: wealth and influence. Earlier this month, the state board canceled its year-long pilot project that allowed the University of Idaho and Boise State University to sell alcohol at football games. … Without missing a beat, however, that same board maintained its long-standing approval of serving drinks to people who can afford to purchase season tickets and invest in suite seats or those with ties to corporate sponsors.
