UA students' anti-binge drinking PSA with Shaq to air during BCS Championship

Alabama Live
University of Alabama students have more than just football to look forward to on Monday. UA advertising and public relations students created a PSA on the consequences of binge drinking back in April of last year and they had help from a special athlete, former NBA superstar and future hall-of-famer Shaquille O'Neal. Shaq first got involved after the students started a Twitter campaign. It was all part of their student-based anti-binge drinking campaign, LessThanUThink, which started in 2010. Now they are able to get a national audience when their PSA is aired live during the first quarter of the BCS National Championship game, which is sponsored by Bacardi USA.
