Several fcs/1aa programs ahead of MT...
Maybe work out a deal with My TV 30 or something to air games that are not on FB or replay another time. The students do the work and get the experience, overlooked by professors or something. IDK...That's something I've never understood. I was there 98-02. Before streaming and all that. Did several games with the production truck that were shown on MT10 a few days later.
Nowadays we have a digital truck. ESPN3. A great play by play announcer. There is ZERO reason every game shouldn't be broadcast. NONE. Take advantage of the student resources you have.
Same with marketing, sports management, etc. It is a two-fold win. You get fresh new young ideas and you get the students heavily invested because you are using their ideas. So stupid we don't have literally every school on campus helping the athletic dept. in some capacity.
There is lots of marketing here in Jersey City for the Peacocks.The Saint Peters Peacocks ahead of MT? 🦚 120th vs 138th? Wow! And, Murray State ahead of us (and WKU too)? We’re not cutting the mustard for social media engagement…for sure, and Mass Communications is our specialty? Someone needs to wake up and pay attention; anybody home in Murphy Center…really embarrassing.
Totally agree...Not trying to beat a dead horse, but there are so many fans that have "disconnected" for the time being. MT lost guys like DJ a few years ago, but MT lost a LOT like him along the way. Frustrated about Stock / FB, frustrated after a few years of terrible MBB, lack of engagement (pre-Lee De Leon), etc.
At this point, it's a cultural thing and it's going to take time (probably 3-5 years minimum) to right the ship
