College football championship game sponsor makes a lot of money off college students
Thursday, January 7, 2010
Houston Chronicle: Tonight’s college football national championship game is sponsored by Citigroup, which, as business columnist Loren Steffy points out, “needed about $50 billion of our money to stay in business and has repaid less than half of it.” Steffy calls the sponsorship of bowl games “another example of finance companies worming their way into the lucrative college market, associating their names with institutions of higher learning….By sponsoring the Bailout Bowl, Citi is using our money to exploit college students.”
