My impression is that many college newspapers lost a lot of ad revenue when it became common for universities to ban them from advertising bars and alcohol.

Would have thought recruiters/employers could have made for a lot of revenue.
> ban them from advertising bars and alcohol.

Why would they be banned from advertising bars? They're just local businesses.

Because the "freedom-loving" laws in America require that college students aged 18, 19 and 20 are legally prohibited from drinking.
One could look at Canadian ones to see if they fared any better, especially those diametrically opposite Albertans and Quebeckers that have an 18 drinking age.
