Morgan Freeman and Delta Burke did not go to Ole Miss, however, they are very strong supporters of Ole Miss. Mr. Freeman has been a spokesperson for Ole Miss for many years now. Delta Burke has relatives here and she is very connected with the University in many ways.

General Ricardo S. Sanchez is a graduate of TAMUK

Colleges (and not, like, community colleges) have commercials?! :eek: :confused:

This must be post grad because she went to UCLA for undergrad.

Both Ball State and IUPUI have commercials on Indianapolis local stations. They are both kinda scary commercials. Also Butler has a commercial they air during basketball games when they are televised. It's not a very good commercial though.
