So.. What Did I Miss?

Sam's First Season? Who was in this position years past? Did they go with Napier?

And for Pete's sake.... GET RID of the Barnes and Noble, corporate level BS! That was the biggest mistake!

I think we're stuck with B&N for the long haul now. I was trying to find an email related to that Jonathon Clark fellow that Dr. Maggard provided a telephone number for in order to send some examples of logo and gear I'd love to see in the fan shop. Couldn't find one. May just give him a call.

Or are you referring to someone from Martin Hall?

I’m not sure our efforts are best spent trying to pinpoint this one person. Coming up with a clear and concise message co-signed by as many alumni and fans as possible directed to the office as a whole could get the ball rolling. See who provides the loudest objections and the person or persons out themselves.

Person previously in this spot moved to James Madison.

The goal here, to me, is to get this person to give explanations as to why our policy with regard to our brand and licensing is to keep it from being spread far and wide rather than promoting growth. Explain why it's so hard and cost prohibitive for others to do business with the licensing office. Explain why we can never get any traction with the mascot conversation.

If the explanations are valid, we'll accept them and just learn to live in a world where one of the most unique monikers in sports today must be kept under wraps. If not, we have an open dialogue about how this office can evolve into the 21st century so that our name can be monetized the way it should be.

I agree with you 100% MAT. What gives me concern is getting our voices heard to get that explanation. Those with influence at the university but not in charge of these decisions seem to be having a hard time getting progress on these issues. For example, Maggard tweeting that he is with RR on the merch issue. What does that say for the chances of us attacking this thing individually without cohesion? A group on the same page has a better chance, IMO.

According to FB's about page for that person that rhymes with Saloon, She is now a volunteer for the Volunteers. Not at UL
