While we have finished strong in the Gulf South Conference in all of our sports, we have only one regular season championship since entering the league in 1992. Based on the student-athlete exit exam, we have not adequately publicized all of our sports and should endeavor to promote and publicize our events more. Additional marketing and fund-raising efforts are needed. Membership in booster club has declined. Additional connections with alumni, former athletes, and community businesses need to be established.
Transportation is another concern for the department.
With ten teams in our department, there is constant demand on the university owned vehicles. There are several dates during the year that rental vehicles are leased for transportation due to the demand. Furthermore, the age of the varsity cruisers is reason for concern. One varsity cruiser is over 10 years old. Our coaches are not provided drivers for long trips and no cell phones are available for emergencies.
