BYU is allowing Coca-Cola on campus and everyone is freaking out
On Thursday morning, Brigham Young University announced the university will offer caffeinated soft drinks -- including Coca-Cola -- on campus and fans couldn’t contain their excitement.
The BYU Twitter account posted the news along with a Q&A with BYU director of dining services Dean Wright on the decision to bring caffeinated soft drinks on the Provo, Utah, campus for the first time since the mid-1950s.
BYU is is owned and operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-day Saints and requires students to adhere to a strict honor code in line with the church’s beliefs. The honor code enforced a mandated dress code, personal grooming standards as well as abstinence from premarital sex, drugs and alcohol.
BYU is the largest religious university and third largest private university in the United States.

Good timing. While football and basketball are down in the dumps, caffeine lifts spirits
