The university never banned having caffeinated drinks on campus, but held firm to the ban on sales even when The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in 2012 clarified that church health practices do not prevent members from drinking caffeinated soft drinks. But officials with the school of 33,000 students in Provo, Utah, said Thursday that increasing demand prompted the change. Just the small change of allowing caffeinated beverages — because it's not against our religion — it's high time." Caffeinated soft drinks will also be sold at sporting events that draw tens of thousands of fans. "It's been ridiculous that we couldn't have caffeinated soda on campus."
