Message: [QUOTE="tomcat, post: 2372438, member: 961"] It probably won't hurt. There are some programs that have not invested $.02 in their WCBB programs in years, if ever. And, as the previous poster suggested, getting students to attend is half the battle, and I have to believe that's an easier marketing task than just generally broadcasting outward to an often unreceptive public. But the fact is, if you have the best marketing and social media program in the world., and you get fans to the game and they see lousy basketball, what have you accomplished? (assuming, of course, that the fans are knowledgeable enough to know the difference.) You've confirmed in their minds that you're offering a second-rate product. On the other hand, if you attract a lot of students because the event itself is fun, maybe you've go something to work with. They may not think much of the game, but they'll come back because of the experience. [/QUOTE]
