- jacquesm 5y agoI find this kind of connection between commerce and university a bad influence.
- fidesomnes 5y agoIf you think university is not a business you have some growing up to do.
- elzbardico 5y agoWell, but on the bright side "it got electrolytes!"
- paulcole 5y agoWhat drinks should they have for sale on campus?
- jacquesm 5y agoWhatever the students request, and with the size of a typical university that's probably a fairly large selection, as long as it can be sold before the best-before date it should be fine. Note that that no doubt will include the products of the companies that now have the monopoly.

- kube-system 5y agoThese types of contacts are very common at US universities. They’re bad in that students might have fewer choices of sugary beverage on campus. But it’s not like these deals are influencing academics or anything. These deals mostly amount to the director of food service getting a better deal when stocking the concession stands and the dining halls. If you deal in any kind of bulk good, you will typically sign a contract with your distributor with some sort of terms.
