Even if it provided you a yearly increase in salary?

Parents would object to something that would freeze tuitions?
And it is very likely that students would have already seen the
commercials on other media (e.g., TV, Facebook, other
websites). And if it is only "some", remember that the
"good of the many outweigh the good of the few".
The real problem is that students might remember the
commercials better than the lectures. ;-)
Certainly carries the commercialization of academia to a new
level, but probably not the final level ... tolls to get into
university
buildings?
Let's not be silly. How about faculty wearing sponsor patches
like sports figures and Nascar drivers do? Most students
already wear clearly branded clothes for nothing. ;-)

P.S. Would you wear a "Go Daddy" patch on your shirt if it
came with a 3% yearly raise in salary?

Imagine that you're giving a lecture and at about the midpoint,
a 30-60 second commercial (e.g., on Red Bull, condoms, tampons,
sportswear, social media services, etc.) comes on. Would
students accept this if the income it produces freezes the
tuition (I hesitate to say reduce tactician because everyone
knows that even if it could reduce the tuition, the college
administration would use that money for other things
[e.g., administrators' salaries]).
It's clearly a win-win situation: the college makes extra money
with minimum expenditure, students no longer get tuition
hikes, and instructors get a break from lecturing in the middle
of a class.
I'm sure that some professors might ask what about their
reaction to such a thing but, really, why would the administration
starting caring about that now? ;-)
