Underlying this entire discussion is the private-public dichotomy of college sports. Private organizations are not subject to the First Amendment because they are not gov- ernmental entities.3 On the other hand, state universities are government actors and so are subject to the First Amendment.4 * J.D. candidate, William & Mary School of Law, 2012; B.A., College of William & Mary, 2006.

  • Blue Shark Vodka Receives Critical Acclaim, Eyes National Expansion
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Ashley Morris Phone: 770-377-8266 Email: [email protected] Blue Shark Vodka receives critical acclaim, eyes national expansion NFL star Connor Barth named spokesman WRIGHTSVILLE BEACH, NC, Oct. 9, 2020 — Wilmington’s first distillery, Blue Shark Vodka, announced Friday it claimed six international medals in its first year of production, including a Platinum SIP Award. Now the family behind Blue Shark Vodka is eyeing a national expansion with the help of retired NFL star Connor Barth. Since it began distilling last summer, the demand for Blue Shark grew exponentially and in one year, it is currently available across all North Carolina counties, sold exclusively in ABC stores. Now the locally-owned business is gearing up for a national expansion, tapping Wilmington’s Connor Barth of NFL fame to be its spokesperson. Barth, a Hoggard High grad, played for the University of North Carolina before a 10-year career in the NFL. He was a member of the Miami Dolphins, Denver Broncos, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, New Orleans Saints and Chicago Bears. He holds a number of records, including the highest field goal percentage in Buccaneers franchise history. “We are thrilled to take Blue Shark Vodka beyond North Carolina with the hopes of being a national brand by 2021,” said co-founder Mark Bloomquist. “We had a wildly successful first year -- a Platinum SIP Award medal, we sold out our special edition Wyland artist bottle in mere days and we have fans across the state. Now it is time for the rest of the country to see North Carolina has The World’s Smoothest Vodka.” Blue Shark Vodka is partnering with Connor Barth to take the locally-owned spirit to a wider audience.
