Well, there's a missed opportunity . . .

I think showcasing the entire university is a great idea, but I'm also not shaking my head because athletics does something later for students that is bigger and more involved than a snippet at orientation. I think most kids have already made up their mind when they get to USF whether football games interest them or not and a 2 minute commercial from athletics that would probably be 90% football likely won't change a lot of minds. So I can see why athletics might want to do something bigger and spend the appropriate amount of time showcasing not just football, but the other 16 sports we play that a kid might be curious about seeing. 

I wonder why there are so many 30, 60, 90 second commercials on tv?

Short attention span of today's world?  Which also explains the decline in attendance at sporting events.

Edit: and price.

Too many commercial breaks during games has contributed to that decline.

I dread it when the TV official walks out onto the field. You know you've got no game action for 2.5 - 3 minutes.

When I see the TV official, I can jump up, run to the club, go to the bathroom, get a free refill on my soda and back to my seat right as the next play starts. So, I love those breaks! lol

So that's about 30 - 40 sodas per game?

I try to drive my cost per soda to be under $0.25, which takes an effort when they start at like $9.00.

Since I’m out of town and don’t feel like typing on my phone...

Yes. My statement was definitely that commercials don’t do anything.
