VANDAL: Beer debate brewing

Wow an entrepreneur and former University of Idaho student using his skills taught to him through the Idaho Entrepreneurs program is wanting to donate 10 percent of his business sales back into the U of I through scholarships along with helping local nonprofits and awarding businesses and individuals who are following his business mission statement of making a positive impact in their communities, is being harassed by his alma mater for using the word “Vandal” on his gold pale ale beer, stating trademark infringement. Really?

Here we have a university needing to focus on more important issues such as increasing student enrollment, hiring an athletic director, completion of the basketball arena, getting the new president up and running and what is really going on with our basketball coach?

Yet the University of Idaho is more concerned about a possible hint of a word violation. Maybe the real trademark infringement should be on the use of the word “Beer!”

Go Vandal Beer!
