I agree with sr16. Not everything is susceptible to analysis merely by a ledger sheet. There can be intangible benefits to having a football team. I’m probably not going to weigh in on this topic any further, as I prefer to save my expertise and wisdom for matters pertaining to on-field issues 😆
-
Will not go into a whole debate here but I disagree. Football is a part of wider culture and tradition and its important to build it. Again realizing we as a university have only had a team for 50 years. We're a lot better off than the majority of others.
-
COME ON! Wheres the excitement for this one??! We are ranked in the Top 20! Its Homecoming! We have one of the best coaches around, and are lucky that he graces our presence!

I was referring to every game, not one specific event. Towson Football is irrelevant. Students don't care. Alumni don't care. Population of Baltimore doesn't care. Is your assertion that 95% of college athletics does not make money your best argument for keeping the $8.5 million dollar football program intact which brings in less than $750,000 gross a year? I'll do you one better, in that there is not a single program in FCS that turns a profit, not even NDSU. FCS Football is a complete and total waste of time and resources for a school that has declining enrollment and budget challenges in the main mission of the University, which is academics. So, Towson would be better off scrapping the football program, reducing the student athletics fee by 50%, and being better stewards of the budget dollars that they have since funds are obviously not coming into athletics from alumni giving.

Agree and disagree. Football team is needs d it it’s fcs. Who wouldn’t make the playoffs here?! I mean if king rob leaves who would ever take on coaching duties?!
-
This was an Alumni Assoc event. 95% of all college athletics do not make money.

Marketing is the least of the concerns. You could be placing Hillary Clinton-sized ad buys and it would not move the needle. Marketing is treating the symptom and not the disease, which is dumping millions of dollars into a football program that has no ROI for the University. The students are apathetic, the alumni do not engage, and Baltimore City has not clue one that anyone other than "Joe Flacco's Brother" is on the team. But I am sure someone will educate us about the major value of being on the Sun Sports Section page 6, right next to the Oil Change and Massage Ads.

It took them until 5 days before to “realize that”... even for Towson that’s suspect at best. But to my real original point what the hell is with the marketing
-
I’d say it couldn’t get any worse than last week...(checks towsontigers.com, sees rob is listed as head coach). But I guess it could

https://towsontigers.com/news/2019/10/17/-18-20-towson-football-revives-series-vs-bucknell-for-homecoming.aspx Has to be an impressive performance on Saturday. Anything less than a command of every facet of the game will be an abstract failure.
-
Yes, because they realized having the gathering so far away from the stadium would not be a great idea. Traditionally, this was held on the lower practice fields.
-
Practice facility in the middle of campus? Huh. what are you talking about? it was moved from middle of campus to a lot.

The new practice facility has necessitated a move to Lot 20. Lot 20 is primarily used for administration and Presidential events. Can’t cook or have people ruining the new rug.

Based off the fact that they are moving a large tailgate event to the regular parking lot. One that had spots available last weekend 10 minutes prior to kick off... and the fact that if you look at the ticket map there are still a ton left there.
-
“Not expecting a large crowd “ and you Base that comment on what information ?
-
Maybe they are going with the Dan Snyder business model where you assume that the fans from the away team will fill the stadium to keep it from looking empty.
-
Surprise surprise, looks like the aren't expecting a large crowd this weekend.. Another marketing fail... I'm all for the band and they work hard too (wish they would not play the same songs every year for over a decade now but), but its a homecoming football game, why is the only graphic not showing a Towson football player???!!! Towson Athletics as a group, DO BETTER

I would assume so. Probably depends on how his recovery goes.
-
I assume Shane’s tweet means he’s planning on pursuing a medical redshirt & playing next season?

Was top rusher in nation at one point

I have a Star Bucks card that I do not use. It has $100.00 on it and I need the cash. Anyone willing to make me an offer with reason.. I will sell it below cost. Let me know ASAP. I can meet you at the corner Star Bucks.

I think if T West wants a shoot he gets it. XFL is definitely creating some buzz though
