UA's $7,500 Cash Promotion to get students to the game

UA's giving away $7,500 to the winner of a punt, pass, and kick challenge. I've never seen a promotion like this before from the University of Akron. It should help bring students to the game.

I think it's a great idea, and I also like the timing. Hopefully the weather (which looks good at this point, with a predicted high of 65 F and only a 10% chance of rain) will cooperate as well.

What's with the Duke fan in the photo?

This will attract approximately 0 female and nonathletic male students who would have little chance of winning a PPK contest.

Maybe your name should be "ZippyRUINS" instead

Maybe those "super stud athletic guys" will bring along their girlfriends.. And the "nonathletic male students" all think they're athletic anyway.

Seriously -- the demographics at football games is getting closer and closer to 50% women -- did you look around the stadium in Knoxville on Saturday? Tons and tons girls/women.

The University is putting forth some great effort to attract more students to the games -- I applaud them wholeheartedly
