kinda weird....Syracuse must have some legal standing in the contract to do this but they just "terminated" their contract/deal with IMG Sports for $$$ millions - extending all the way to 2021...

Here's one that I had not heard before...
Texas Christian University has hired Walt Disney Corporation's marketing consulting subdivision firm to help them promote their athletics...
specifically - "stadium experience"...
"It's just like Disney's approach to their theme parks ... "The experience starts as soon as you park your car."
" ... other collegiate athletic departments ... have all sought after Mickey Mouse's help.
"We??™ve reconnected with the fan, and they??™re noticing.."

I remember the Braves beating Syracuse bad on their home court several years ago. Press guide not handy or I'd know the score.Originally posted by tornado View PostWhat part of illegal don't you understand?Comment

I was checking YouTube to see if there was any video highlights of that BU-Syracuse game, and found this old video report by Scott Miller of WRAU (channel 19) about the Braves' NIT championship. Fun watching the players and fans from 1982. Maybe some message board members are in this video?Originally posted by tornado View Post

More video of the end of the NIT Championship game and coverage of the post game events-
And here is an old video of the BU-Tulane game in the 1982 NIT-
One other cool video- Indiana State at Bradley in 1979- Bradley held Larry Bird to the lowest scoring output of his entire career, high school, college, or pro. He had just 4 points on 1 basket and 2 FTs because of the constant double team defense put on by Dick Versace. Indiana State still won the game..-

Bird scoring only 4 points is misleading. I remember most of the game well. Most of the game he stood in the corner and was guarded by Harold McMath and I can't remember who else. He could have scored more and I believe Carl Nicks was their leading scorer that night.What part of illegal don't you understand?Comment

McMath is #44 and Maniscalco is #12 in white-

yeah - #12 was Carl Maniscalco - better known as Cisco - who was billed as being 6 ft in the program but was really probabaly closer to 5-9!
Watch him when he's right next to Larry Bird in that YouTube video - he's a foot shorter!Comment

Back to the marketing thing. Do you get the idea that bringing in Disney, Mickey Mouse, Quik Change, BaBoom, and fan votes for mascots isn't helping central ill. Fans want good players, names who stay around more than a year, some one who can hit an open jumper, and maybe a game on Friday or Saturday in St. LouieWe miss you Coach BuescherComment
