Mike Jarvis being mentioned for Big East job....

Well, leave it to the Palm Beach Post - which fails to staff most FAU home games and almost never runs FAU photos but manages to send staff to away Miami games - to stick it to FAU on the front page of today's sports section. The topic: Jarvis' comments about attendance.

What's new to the story. Not much! The Post just regurgitated the same now-old Jarvis quotes and listed FAU's low home attendance average. AD Craig Angelos agreed with Jarvis and said he plans to hire another marketing person (Give me a call!) to help the hoops program.

I am so disappointed in the Post. It fails to cover the games, then seems to marvel in the fact that games are not well attended. Hey Post, your lack of community support is much of the problem! Get off your collective arses (skip Miami, which most Palm Beaches residents couldn't give a hoot about) and cover FAU properly!

I agree with everything you said. People in Palm Beach County that are canes fans are probably reading the Sentinel or Herald anyway. So the only way FAU gets the sports page isn't because of how well we're doing in Basketball it's because Jarvis complained about the attendance. I'm glad he complained, he's right. Baseball should complain too. The only time you have a sell out in baseball is when UM is in town, the next day even if it's vs. a good opponent no one shows up.

Hell I'd help FAU with marketing as well and I'd do it for free. I bleed FAU Blue like everyone on this forum. Maybe if they reached out to their alumni for help they can get something accomplished. We have an excellent business school and who knows many of those kids that graduated from FAU now work in marketing or for a marketing firm.

I'm not going to name names but the marketing director who is in charge now is just not good at his job. Don't give me he's got no money to work with B.S. we've listed about 50 ideas on here of how to try and get more people involved and none of those ideas cost any money and none of us are getting paid the money he gets paid. What has he done as marketing director?

Angelos said he's going to make a change. So it takes your Basketball coach to call out your marketing department for you to make a change? Have you not been seeing what everyone else sees?

My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!

Does anyone actually read the post anymore, it comes across as written by 10th grade journalism wannabes, it really is terrible excuse for a paper now.

GO OWLS!

Re: Mike Jarvis being mentioned for Big East job....

I don't even know who markets for FAU. So I can't name names. I just threw out what, to me, are some very basic, inexpensive and do-able marketing ideas.

Here's the Post story: FAU coach Mike Jarvis complains school isn't promoting 8-0 Owls e | www.palmbeachpost.com

I laughed when I saw the photo of Jarvis. It is from The Associated Press! That means the Post does not have a recent archive photo of FAU's head coach! Pathetic, Post. To how many games this season have to sent a photographer? None, obviously.
