same line of thinkng for anyone who is pro on Football, MBB, Baseball, Lax. we need to be shouting when Tigers are on the national and international stage

source? I guess the question would then be: do we want an invite? we'd be left with Hampton, A&T, Elon and Campbell in the then dead CAA (not enough schools for an auto bid). Central Conn, SHU and Merrimack are not what you'd naturally think are comparable schools to Towson, but neither is Bryant or Mommoth, and they are already in the cluster of the CAA along with Hampton, A&T, Elon and Campbell who are not what I would consider to be peer institutions.

Exactly if we don't currently bring enough to the table to be attractive to established conferences we should be leading the charge to create something new vs getting left in the dust are you hinting that there may have been a serious discussion with CUSA and we said no? If that is the case, every single person in that room should be fired on the spot. CUSA esp if they did East/West divisions, would be the same amount of travel.

In no way shocked by this as I have proposed many options over the years to get us out the the dead CAA. Dr E. call me and I'll figure this out.

Yes! Currently, we are making it very difficult to find something worth traveling to west of the mississippi. also the timberlake bowl!!! wonder if he helped set it up? we've oddly played KU a decent amount recently. Look if the new world of college sports come to fruition like I think it will and we end up being a minor league team to Kansas I'm okay with that.

Thank you! I'll be interested who, if anyone directly from Towson shows up to LA. Will also report back after the event on how it went. Looking at how large the package we got is on the dodgers website it should be 50+ people

Nice - glad they are doing something! Did they do anything for the NDSU game? My dad went to St. Cloud and he was always complaining about St. Cloud not doing anything in DC so I know we are not alone on this issue. Who was the alumni rep who flew out - wonder if we got someone new in the role?

I think expecting Alumni to go to the events page on the alumni site is expecting a bit much for people who tend to be pretty busy. Add upcoming events to the alumni magazine, send emails, share on social. Broadcast the Baltimore stuff locally. DC is so close you'd they they mix in weekend and weekday events. Young alumni happy hours at some cool bar etc. to keep people hooked. If you want to get donations you need to keep people engaged - sports and booze are the easiest way to do that.

Not exactly Towson athletics department specific but related. I just signed up for Towson night @ the Dodgers on 6/21 vs the Nats. I wish the alumni association would do a better job of promoting events around sports. Sports are an easy way to bring folks together and could/should be an easier tie to athletics fundraising as well. The only way I even noticed it is that they randomly sent me a automated text. Seems like there are a number of baseball events coming up as well if folks are interested. SoCal - Nats @ Dodgers - 6/21 NYC - O's @ Yankees - 6/20 Eastern Shore - Shorebirds - 6/26 Should be a slam dunk to do these events at all minor league games in the area.

Denver I know has a good alumni base; I'm sure other MLB cities are primed for a Towson night.

wish that vs. UCSD was road game! after the NorCal and western Canada trip last year still hoping for something SoCal or Vegas so I can drive to a game.

i'm fine with the towson state reference because we got a good Barstool troll out of it

Could be a fun little trip 🤔. It would be nice to see a road game in Socal

how much money? i would have preferred a national brand or something with a bit more pop but as long as the check clears and it was for a decent chunk of money who cares.

well they sure shut me up. keep it rolling!

the irony is TL was supposed to be the donor guy. SMU and Towson money hit different.
