@Bighead technology is closing the gap a little bit. I mean that it’s cheaper now more than ever to promote your school (academics and athletics). Hell, the technology the band uses for video (Garrett had also done a Hard Knocks-like video for football) was too cost prohibitive for some like 10 years ago.
Hell smartphones are producing 4K video in a pinch. All I’m saying is that the available tech for producing content has been democratized due to costs going down.
No. We don’t have ESPN footing the bill on basically a propaganda piece.
However, we do have talented students and alumni that can help craft messages. Some have more than others. Will things change like Thanos snapping his fingers? No. We just gotta keep getting it done and getting better.
We have alumni with business in the techy field, we need to reach out to those alumni, just like the white folks do wit their own. They reach out to alumni that has graduated from the school or have kids attending that school and that company helps with the production and equipment to help enhance the football program or whatever project.
We have SU grads that have their own businesses and it doesn't have to be local businesses, we can reach out to folks that have tech businesses in Dallas, ATL, all over this country. The A.D. need to have his staff to compile a list of SU grads with legit businesses and reach out to them, I mean that's what them white folks do.
Everybody is a dayum photographer these days, you go on FB, IG etc and everybody is taking eccentric ass photos lol, everybody got a camera. Why not advocate for some talent within, or SU put together some type of communication program/project and funnel students who want to take this path and have them be apart of a media team and just attach it to the communication program/curriculum. You save on cost, you have workers, students get the experience and knowledge and you get a crisp project every year.
I think the leadership as I stated is outdated and don't understand that it's not 1998 anymore. Ppl are not coming to a football game anymore, outside things have to be happening before the games, during the games, and after the game to enhance your program. Ppl are not sitting around wanting to wait on Fall to come to talk about SU Football, SU Football should be a yearly thing to be talked about. AT the bigger stage, this thing has become a yearly round process.
Football programs would get the spotlight or commentary around the middle of August or Sept, back in the day, but now with so much media, social media, you literally are talking about football in February, March, and then April is Spring season, the public, your fanbase want to see how the team is doing in Spring Ball, who enrolled early, who has regressed, what FR from the previous year is now making the step up. Who will be the SR leader heading into Fall Camp, what the conditioning of the players status is? etc.
SU Fans need this Lol, Hell all SWAC school fans need this.
SU ALL ACCESS can give you insight of said recruit, broadcast the signing day event. This has to be bigger than how it is now. LSU sht has become huge, whites be out there tail-gating smh. Live streaming the Signing day event can be big.
Something.
