No, Christine Amanpour went to the University of Rhode Island. She lived in a house with JFK Jr., however, in the Brown/RISD neighborhood. URI has a really good journalism program.

Morgan Freeman and Delta Burke did not go to Ole Miss, however, they are very strong supporters of Ole Miss. Mr. Freeman has been a spokesperson for Ole Miss for many years now. Delta Burke has relatives here and she is very connected with the University in many ways.

Both Ball State and IUPUI have commercials on Indianapolis local stations. They are both kinda scary commercials. Also Butler has a commercial they air during basketball games when they are televised. It's not a very good commercial though.
