1) Do you support the selling of alcohol in general setting sections at college games? Why?
Yes, I do. The sale of alcohol is a big part of a college team's revenue. It should be limited to beer and wine, though. No liquor. The article by Huang and Dixon (2013, Journal of Sports Management) is a bit outdated, though as far as the current alcohol sales situation goes. More schools (i.e. Louisiana, Colorado State, UT Austin) are now allowing beer sales stadium wide. At UT Austin for example, alcohol sales have been done since 2-3 years now at Basketball and Baseball games. And since last year, they offer beer and wine before and during college football games. I feel that every adult (21 years and older) should be able to buy a beer at a sports event if he wishes to do so. You can drink alcohol at NFL Football games, at NHL hockey games and many other professional sports. Why stop at college games? The profit the school program can have additional besides ticket sales and regular concession sales (i.e. food) is tremendous and alcohol is only troublesome if misused or people don't know how to look after themselves. In my opinion the NCCA shouldn't be worrying about the intoxication of "fans" at football stadiums. It's not the NCCA's responsibility. If someone is breaking the law or gets a DWI it's between the individual and the law enforcement.
2) Why is the authors' decision not to support the selling of alcohol at college stadiums grounded in teleology?
The authors decision of not supporting the sale of alcohol is theological because they believe that it's best for the greater good and the majority of people that there be no alcohol at college games. The possible associated problems (as mentioned by me in above response to Question #1) is the "bad" outcome the authors fear.
3) What are the strengths and weaknesses of telelogy? (do not use my example)
4) What are the strengths and weaknesses of deontology? (do not use my example)

3) What are the strengths and weaknesses of telelogy? (do not use my example)
- A strength is that teleological decisions be made based on the greater good and satisfaction for everyone.
- A weakness would be that it leaves out new strategies or thoughts and is too "old-school" when it comes to decision making
4) What are the strengths and weaknesses of deontology? (do not use my example)
- The strength of deontology is that it goes by pure principles and rules. Following strict rules and policies in place will ensure the correctness and safety for everyone.
- The downside, and therefore weakness of deontology is that it doesn't really take the specific situation in account.
