"A History of Greats, whos next?" CUSA marketing...
Only posted a lil bit with the CUSA parts in it but the whole article is a decent read.

http://www.fauowlaccess.com/articles/170...orris.aspx

Conference USA is preparing to launch an Alfred Morris-centric South Florida marketing campaign that will promote the Owls' move to C-USA, which becomes official on July 1.

Morris, a former FAU running back who enjoyed a breakout rookie season in 2012 with the Washington Redskins, will be highlighted in C-USA's "A History of Greats: Who's Next?" campaign that features great athletes across all sports who played collegiate ball at current C-USA institutions. It poses the question: who is the next great athlete to emerge from Conference USA?

“We are taking advantage of the ability to use Alfred, who has been nothing but great for our institution,” said FAU Senior Associate AD for External Relations John Semeraro. “For the most part we are just going to be leveraging Alfred in the community.”

Semeraro said Morris approved of the use of his likeness in the campaign. Former NFL quarterback Brett Farve (Southern Mississippi) and Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander (Old Dominion) will be the focal point of similar campaigns in their school's home towns.

I live in DC and honestly couldn't care less about the Skins.

That being said, I love that guy. All indications point to him being a fantastic representative both for FAU and the conference as a whole. I'm behind this 100%.

Looks like they're pushing an ODU - Marshall rivalry pretty hard. I can dig it. By the way, it's Cato.

Does anyone else know what person will be on their campaign? The only ones I could think of off the top of my head are below. Remember the athlete has to give his permission to use the likeness as well which could be a stumbling block.

LATech: Karl Malone, Terry Bradshaw
FIU: TY Hilton, Mike Lowell

Vonte Leach for ECU. He was good, but why use Jeff Blake, Davod Garrard, CJ2K, or Blue Edwards.

Must be then. I googled FIU golfers and her name came up so that makes sense. Kind of surprised they didnt go with Mike Lowell.

Also noticed that it was not Brett Favre for USM. Who is the track athlete for them?

Could be they didnt give permission to use thier likeness. The original article stated that Alfred Morris gave his permission. Just a guess.

Could see CJ2k, but rest I can't see them saying no. Guess Vonte was the first that said yes. Ofcourse he just won the super bowl withe Ravens.
