LZIp Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 ^^Disagree. Though, that is something that would need to happen when the timing presents itself.The first thing that needs done is for the members of the conference give the leadership a reason for more marketing.

Though, that is something that would need to happen when the timing presents itself.The first thing that needs done is for the members of the conference give the leadership a reason for more marketing.A recent sweet sixteen run, a ranked basketball team, a BCS trip, a player sent to NYC for the Heisman ceremony, 6 (I think) bowl teams last year.. If you can't market that compared to the previous ten years, find a new job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy5 Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Oh and a number one pick in the NFL Draft. Maybe two in a row? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UAZip0510 Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Yeah I've got to say, the MAC marketing department is struggling. Not much out there about Khalil Mack either. The marketing department pretty much starts and ends with Jeremy Guy's Twitter account. He's good, but you can't rely on one guy on Twitter with 5,100 followers.

The marketing would help recruiting which in turn would help provide results worthy of marketing, right? At some point the trend needs broken and with the items mentioned above by others, why not now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant Zip Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 On 3/24/2014 at 0:44 PM, GP1 said: Exactly. There is nothing wrong with where we are. We just need to make the best of it. Sort of reminds me of the industry I work in. A medium sized commercial roofing company sells around $3 million worth of business a year. With the right mix of maintenance and reroofing, an owner can make a really good living. Lots of guys get it in their heads that they need to be a $6 million a year company so they take more projects at lower margin and make less net profit than the $3 million a year guy for many, many, many reasons. All the $6 million a year guy did was buy himself $3 million worth of headaches, but his ego wouldn't allow him to resist the try at $6 million. The MAC is a nice medium sized company. No reason to increase every problem under the sun just to feed egos. There is nothing wrong with being in the MAC. Tigers football made $85 million in the 2015-16 academic year, turning a profit of more than $55 million. Only 3 LSU sports turn a profit - Football, Men's basketball, and baseball.
