Now you have to work for it, be professional, put a really good value proposition in front of the customer and then follow up and deliver on promises.
What we are seeing are businesses investing in an athletic department that is not only displaying success (for the most part), but viewed as community-focused, very well run and something that a business WANTS to be associated with.
It hasn't happened as fast as we would have like, but they have built something that has a very solid base, and not on quicksand.
Congratulations and Thank you to Dr. Maggard and Nico.
