University owned Redzone stores forced to close

[Mormon Red Death]

The audit determined (from previous articles) that the board of regents does not allow competition with private enterprise, and thus the stores were violating the policy.

The legislator who started this said if the board of regents didn't stop this, he would as he does not feel government entities should have revenue streams that could hurt private business.

The new rules, which effectively keep the U from doing advertising, will put the stores out of business.

I'm curious to see if this stops the athletic department from advertising, as the rules restrict advertising to using the university's website and social media accounts and only allow targeting prospective students, alumni and faculty.

(I'd also love to hear how they justify the monopoly on liquor sales...regulation can occur without a government entity hurting private business. Right?)

Shouldn't they close the book store?
