The NCAA has a spot that showed during the half time in the Syracuse-UConn game (56:50 after the start). (I had seen it in a game on Monday as well.) The spot is a (men's) March Madness ad posing as an Covid-awareness spot. It starts with Andy Katz "The college basketball season is about finding the top teams." Then they show a number of male basketball players and coaches with statements about wearing masks, etc. Unfortunately, they show one player in a well-equipped weight room (that wouldn't be worth noting except for the next part). Then Luka Garza (Iowa) says "If we accept that the season may not be equitable for all."
I'm surprised that the NCAA didn't pull that ad already.
The ad didn't appear at the same time during the half of the Ok State - Stanford game.
