For assessing attitude toward sponsors we asked spectators to rate their
overall impressions of firms that sponsor the football program. This was
measured utilizing a seven-point semantic differential similar to Sengupta
and Fitzsimons (2000). Specifically, subjects indicated if their ``overall
impression of firms that sponsor (university name) football’’ were:
``Bad’’ (1) or ``Good’’ (7);
``Unfavorable’’ (1) or ``Favorable’’ (7); and
``Unsatisfactory’’ (1) or ``Satisfactory’’ (7).
