Good info. Thanks for suggesting to the Prez that our AD needs more marketing help!
Did the new Prez seem genuinely like a sports guy, or just there because he had to be? Our past Presidents that really were involved with our Athletics helped make a lot of things happen for the program!
Just want to point out some bowl game numbers:
Friday 12/20 at 3:30 pm on ESPN, Tulane vs Florida, 1.78 million
Friday 1/3 at 4:00 pm on ESPN, UNT vs Texas State, 1.7 million
Monday 12/23 at 11:00 am on ESPN, UTSA vs Coastal Carolina, 767k
Saturday 12/28 at 2:15 pm on ESPN, TCU vs Louisiana Lafayette, 1.22 million
Saturday 12/28 at 5:45 pm on ESPN, ECU vs NC State, 886k
Tuesday 12/17 at 9:00 pm on ESPN, Memphis vs WVU, 1.2 million
Wednesday 12/18 at 9:00 pm on ESPN, Cal vs UNLV, 1.48 million (7pm local for CAL and UNLV)
Different dates and times, all on ESPN. If I'm a PAC rep, I'm looking at that Texas State vs UNT game and seeing dollar signs. If I'm UNT and Texas State leadership, I'm pointing it out as well. Close to Tulane vs Florida at essentially the same time slots two Fridays prior, better than several other AAC vs P5 opponents, better than several other Westcoast teams, etc... Texas State vs UNT on a Friday evening that could do 1+ million on a yearly basis in a time zone the rest of the PAC doesn't cover would be great for the conference.
Tulane quarterback TJ Finley has been suspended following his arrest Wednesday in New Orleans on a charge of illegal possession of stolen things worth more than $25,000.
Finley, 23, whose name is Tyler Jamal, was booked and released. Tulane said in a statement that the length of the suspension will depend on the outcome of his case. The school cited privacy laws in declining to comment further.
University police responded Wednesday to an address where a truck was blocking a driveway. After looking up the license plate, police saw it registered to a vehicle stolen in Atlanta. Finley arrived to move the car and informed the officer that he had bought the truck recently.
