I've seen lots of ISU commercials, plus many for all of the smaller schools throughout Iowa. During various college basketball games, I think I've seen commercials for every Big XII school and I've seen a bunch for Big Ten schools.

IU has commercials. I think all the Big Ten schools have commercials that are played during halftime of the broadcasts of football and basketball games.

So does the Big East, including Georgetown.

Also, for some reason, our School of Nursing and Health Studies has commercials, too.

Oh, by "commercials," I don't mean the ones created by and for the AD...I think every school has those.

I mean, the "Go to X University!" where a mix of diverse students talk about their experience and there's an 800 number on the screen at the end.
